Food Science (M.Sc.)

A student in a lab coat conducts an experiment in a lab.

The objective of this program is to provide graduates with general scientific knowledge as well as a more in-depth understanding of particular aspects of food science. This objective is accomplished through course work and departmental research seminars. Extensive laboratory and technical training is obtained by performing experiments under the supervision of a professor and advisory committee. 

This program is offered through the Department of Food Science. More details on this program are available through the department's website [1].
