Food science shapes how products are manufactured, preserved, packaged, and even their sensory qualities like taste, texture, and appearance. This program explores biology, chemistry, nutrition, engineering, and related disciplines. You'll gain hands-on experience applying scientific principles in lab settings to innovate food and beverage items with unique characteristics. A significant portion of your training occurs in campus laboratories, where you might study food-spoilage microorganisms, investigate foodborne illnesses, gather sensory evaluation data, or master techniques for processing and packaging various food categories including meats, dairy, and grains.
