Food Science

Description

The program will provide the student with the tools to develop quantitative thinking skills that lay the foundation for working individually and in teams and to grow as a professional. The program emphasizes a strong foundation in the basic sciences applied to solving practical problems related to the production and safety of food and food ingredients. The program stresses communication skills enhancing student career opportunities within and beyond the area of food science.

Attention also is devoted to current issues, innovations, and ethical issues in foods and food processing. Finally, students are given an opportunity to utilize their creative abilities in a course devoted to development of new foods and food products. The food science research option is recommended for students seeking careers in basic or applied food research, as well as for those preparing for graduate or professional study in the sciences.

The general food science option is recommended for students who want to broaden their overall education by taking several courses in other disciplines in addition to food science. The food science and management economics option prepares students for careers in the business aspects of the food industry.
