You will be part of a program with strong connections between faculty and students in classroom and laboratory settings, on research projects and in club activities. Invent an ice-cream flavor and perform sensory and market analysis of your new flavor at the UDairy Creamery. Perform research in one of our food safety labs, and explore the interface between farm and fork side-by-side with our department’s animal scientists.  You can even take a course in fermentation and brewing!  Make use of the department’s numerous contacts to secure internship opportunities with local and national food companies, as well as industrial and governmental research labs.  Participate in all the exciting activities of our Food Science Club. Also take advantage of the opportunities for networking and professional development provided by the Institute of Food Technologists and its student and regional chapters.
