There are 4 options within the Food Science major. You can choose the program that best fits your interest.
Choose from Undergraduate Majors in Food Science

• Natural Sciences (ANS)- Consider this option if you're interested in the ways physical, chemical and biological sciences relate to food. This option is especially appropriate if you are interested in basic or applied research or graduate-level study.


• Agricultural Sciences (ASP)- Choose this option if you are interested in the interaction of business management and food science. You will take credits in the School of Business and prepare for a variety of careers in food processing and distribution, government regulatory activities and technical sales.


• Food and Bioprocess Engineering (ANS and ALE) – If you are interested in engineering and Food Science, this option leads to a double major or a double degree in the Department of Food Science and in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering. Increased hiring of engineers has been a trend in the food industry. This option combines the core courses of an engineering degree with the biological and food processing courses of a Food Science degree.
