Food Science

There are three options in the food science major: food science and technology, food science and industry, and consumer food science. The food science and technology curriculum is approved by the Institute of Food Technologists. It is designed for students who intend to go to graduate or professional school or who are interested in biotechnology. The food science and industry curriculum combines food science and business courses to prepare students for sales and management positions in the food industry. The consumer food science curriculum emphasizes the relationships among food science, food preparation and consumers' concerns about nutritional quality. Students are prepared for positions in test kitchens, food product formulation and recipe development, food promotion and consumer services.
