Ph.D. in Seed Science and Technology

Ph.D. in Seed Science and Technology is a research-intensive graduate degree that takes about 4-6 years to accomplish. The curriculum is centered on the scientific study of seeds, including their biology, production, processing, storage, and distribution. Coursework focuses on seed physiology, genetics, pathology, and biotechnology, while dissertation research permits students to contribute innovatively. Graduates may work in academia, government, or the corporate sector as researchers, educators, or consultants in fields such as agricultural development, seed production, and food security.
