Research, Process, and Preserve Food
for Health and Performance

The Food Science program integrates food science, chemistry, physics, biology/microbiology and mathematics in an applied manner. It is approved by the Higher Education Review Board of the Institute of Food Technologists to empower students to enter fulfilling careers in the industry.

A program that integrates nutritional science, biology, chemistry, physics and human anatomy/physiology, it is a hands-on degree that prepares you for an exciting future career. The basic science foundation this curriculum is built on prepares students to earn a M.S. or Ph.D. in either applied community nutrition or nutritional biochemistry.

If you want to make an impact on public health, this program provides you with skills in (1) core knowledge-chemistry, biochemistry, nutrigenomics, biology and microbiology, (2) developing community programs to promote optimal nutrition and good health; (3) working with special groups at risk for disease; and (4) evaluation of lifestyle, environmental, and psychological issues related to nutrition and health.

Are you interested in becoming a registered dietitian? The Didactic Program in Dietetics option is the first step to success, as it is designed to ensure graduates will have the technical and academic knowledge to successfully compete for placement in a Dietetic Internship program which enables you to take the national RD exam, enter graduate school or apply for entry-level jobs in the field.

This fast-track program allows students to the opportunity to attain a dual major in Food Science and Biology in just four years and two summers. Upon graduation, student will have two B.S. degrees, opening opportunities for graduate school or a great foundation for multiple science-related career paths.

An accelerated dual degree program, the Nutritional Science/Biology affords students the opportunity to attain two B.S. degrees in four years and two summers. Upon graduation, students can pursue continuing education or enter their chosen career path within the sciences industry.
