**Six credits of the Meat Science coursework (AN S 5600, 5700, 5710, 6700) used to fulfill the requirements of the minor cannot be used for the graduate major.
A graduate faculty member from the Meat Science Major must be included in the POS committee of a student working toward a Minor in Meat Science. The student will be required to demonstrate competence in the minor subject during the preliminary (in the case of the PhD student) and final examination for the major.
