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 FDTN concentration provides students interested in food business and management careers with an integrated background in food science and business. With proper course selection, students in the food technology concentration can complete a minor in agribusiness or general business while completing their core requirements, thus leaving elective hours available for further educational enhancement.
