पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

Food science is the application of science and technology to processing, packaging, safety, product invention and distribution of food products. It deals with all aspects of food between production and consumption and involves many disciplines, including chemistry, microbiology, nutrition, engineering and sensory science. Food science prepares students for many interesting, rewarding and challenging professional career opportunities in industry, business, governmental and educational organizations associated with food and food-related products. Due to the diversity and abundance of opportunities available, students graduating with a B.S.A. in food science readily obtain employment or continue studies for graduate school. Additionally, requirements for several pre-professional programs can be fulfilled while meeting requirements for the food science degree. The FDSC concentration at the University of Arkansas is one of only 39 programs in the United States and the only one in Arkansas that is approved by the Institute of Food Technologists. It provides students with a strong background in basic and applied sciences and food chemistry, microbiology, analysis, quality and engineering.

अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय विद्यार्थीहरू प्रवेशको लागि आवश्यकता

Students must have completed college preparatory curriculum in high school that includes four units in English and mathematics (units must be of equivalent or higher level than algebra I); three units in social studies and natural sciences; one unit in general sciences - two units’ lab sciences and two units in electives. They should also have high school overall GPA of at least 3.0 and an ACT score of 20 (or SAT of 930 combined critical reading and math) or better. Applicants from countries where there are only eleven standard years included in the primary-secondary system may be considered for admission if they have achieved a strong academic record and the final official leaving-school certificate. Generally, those who have received certificates of education or leaving school certificates (i.e. GCE, SPM, MCE, WASC), must have a minimum of five GCE equivalent passes in subjects, substantially equivalent to those studied in the U.S., including English. International students should have obtained a minimum TOEFL score of 550 (paper based), 79 (internet-based test), or IELTS overall score of 6.5.
