Overview

Key facts

The Regulatory Science - Food Safety MSc program offered at Arizona State University explores all aspects of food safety including inspections, hazard analysis, safe food practices and the handling of food emergencies. Students learn how to identify food safety issues through the use of videos and simulations and write reports on their findings. The applied learning in the degree directly relates to the type of food safety problems that most frequently occur in the preparation, storage and processing of food.

This food safety master's degree is also unique in that it aligns with the content on the Certified Professional Food Manager certification exam from the National Environmental Health Association. While the degree doesn't result in certification, the program helps prepare students to take the NEHA exam.
