BS Food Science & Technology

Introduction

Food Science is a multidisciplinary subject involving the application of sciences such as chemistry and biology to study food. Studying a broad-based curriculum of BS in Food Science and Technology at MUL, you will gain an understanding of the raw materials that will become food, how these interact, and how food science can have dramatic implications for human health and disease. This degree not only provides the students with a thorough understanding of food composition and analysis, but also give them a high standard of experience in nutrition and microbiology. Moreover, this program includes courses food processing, food engineering, food analysis, food chemistry, food microbiology, nutrition, quality assurance, and commodity processing courses.

This program is also designed to allow the student to develop an area of emphasis that fits their career goals by providing technical elective hours that are chosen by the student. In the last semester, students may participate in an internship program leading towards employment in the food industry.
