Food Science
Administration of this program is through the Department of Food and Bioproduct Sciences, College of Agriculture and Bioresources; the contact person is the student advisor, Dr. N.H. Low, or the Department Head Dr. G. G. Khachatourians.
Food Science is the discipline in which the biological and physical sciences and engineering are used to study the nature of foods, the causes of their deterioration, and the principles underlying food processing and preservation. This program is designed for students who have a strong interest in the basic sciences and who wish to apply this knowledge to the selection, preservation, packaging, and distribution of safe, nutritious food.
