Transcript: We must have official transcripts from every university or college that you have ever attended. International applicants must include official transcripts translated into English. Please send to the Food Science & Human Nutrition Department. If graduated with a degree, we also need a certification of graduation or degree granting diploma. Chinese students must obtain verification of transcripts and graduation certificates from the China Academic Degrees and Graduate Education Development Center (CDGDC). Students should send copies of their documents along with payment to CDGDC. The CDGDC verifies grades and degrees and then sends via carrier service directly to the FSHN Department. Please have documents sent to: Michigan State University Trout Bldg., FSHN Department 469 Wilson Rd. Room 106 East Lansing MI 48824 Please note that if you are admitted and have not received a degree granting transcript, you will also need to use this process again during your first semester at MSU. Personal Statement: Statement of Purpose (Your past, present, and future experience/plans in Food Science & Human Nutrition. Some information may be presented as a CV.) Recommendation Letter: Recommendation Letters The MSU application process will prompt you to provide names and email addresses of your letter writers.

Describe how these experiences have prepared you or led you to your proposed degree work (note that “change of career” is OK as part of the rationale).
