The Ph.D. in Plant Breeding requires 64 semester credit hours past an M.S. degree in plant breeding or related agriculture field and a dissertation on original research. Student research can be completed at the student's location. Just as with the M.S. degree, an on-site Ph.D. scientist, educator, or supervisor who qualifies as an adjunct member of the Texas A&M graduate faculty must be available to serve as co-chair of the student's graduate advisory committee and be able to direct dissertation research locally. Students will have an on-campus co-chair to oversee the academic aspect of their degree. Communication with committee members, examinations, and dissertation defense will be conducted via the internet.
