With the global population projected to grow to 9.7 billion by 2050, the world needs scientists who can develop foods that are nutritious, clean and green – not to mention delicious.
Apply your food science knowledge to develop new ways to improve, preserve, process, package, store and deliver nutritious food products globally, or work with other scientists and marketers to develop new products.
In the Food Science major you’ll build on a firm foundation in basic chemistry and biology to understand the properties of food components and their roles in nutrition and cell biology. As you progress through the course, you’ll learn about the macro structure of food, and how new products are developed, covering market research, product design, packaging, safety and quality.
