Students explore how biological, chemical, physical, and behavioral sciences apply to food processing, preservation, quality assessment, public health considerations, and food utilization. The M.S. program offers four specialization tracks: chemistry-biochemistry, microbiology, food processing, and sensory sciences. Customized study plans are also available. The Ph.D. program focuses on three key areas: biochemistry/chemistry, microbiology/fermentation, and sensory sciences. The Food Science Graduate Group awards both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Food Science, each offering unique educational pathways tailored to specific career goals. Applications for the M.S. and Ph.D. programs are reviewed independently by the Ph.D. admissions committee. Due to limited spots and rigorous standards, Ph.D. program admission tends to be more selective than the M.S. program. The M.S. program is ideal for those seeking a quicker completion time (usually 2 years).
