The demand for food scientists is increasing as our world becomes more focused on the vital role that food plays in the well-being of individuals, communities and nations. Currently, more job opportunities exist than we have graduates to fill positions. Our faculty, students and graduates work with government regulatory agencies, the food industry and researchers across the world.
