FOOD SCIENCE CONCENTRATIONS
The Department offers two different concentrations in the Food Science major: Applied Food Science (UFSA), and Food Science and Technology (UFST). The two concentrations share a core curriculum that consists of two years of chemistry, two years of food science, one year of biology, one semester of biochemistry, and one semester of statistics.
Beyond the core curriculum, the Applied Food Science Concentration also requires one mathematics course, an introductory physics course, and a minor in biology, business, or nutrition. Additional requirements for the Food Science and Technology Concentration include one year of calculus, one year of physics, one or two semesters of physical chemistry, and a semester of human nutrition science.
