Food Science & Technology (Ph.D.)

The primary mission of the Doctorate in Food Science & Technology is to provide graduate training for individuals who have acquired a M.S. degree in Food Science or in a related fundamental science and who desire to assume better positions in the food industry, governmental organizations, or academic institutions. The graduate program focuses on the application of science and engineering in properly selecting, preparing, processing, preserving, packaging, distributing, and consuming foods. Graduate students are challenged with problems involving chemistry, microbiology, engineering, and other sciences as well as more applied problems concerned with food production, stability, safety, and quality.
