Food Sciences (Major: Bachelor-Level)

Food science uses science and engineering principles to study food, its preservation, and processing. The Food Science degree (648) prepares students to work in food product development, food processing, quality assurance, regulatory agencies in food safety, or entering graduate school. With a proper emphasis and course selection, students can also prepare for entrance into dietetic or health science programs. Students in this program will study food chemistry and microbiology; food processing and safety; and food analysis using chemical, physical, and sensory techniques.
