Overview
About the Program
The students in the Food Science program of Rutgers University will be taught the principles and applications of food science and technology, management and planning, food safety, teamwork, communications skills, and fundamentals of making proper financial decisions.
The rapid progress in all sciences and globalization of the economy has created new demands for advanced degree recipients, including food scientists. Our graduates find themselves in situations where, in addition to a solid food science education, a sound knowledge of broadly defined business skills is necessary for professional success. Many of them have become leaders in food industry, government, and academia. There is a need for this program to enable our graduates to utilize their scientific background to not only create new ideas but to also convert them into commercially successful applications. This program will provide benefits to both graduates and the industry.
