Program Overview

Food Science at UGA is an excellent major for students who like science and want to see practical applications of their knowledge. Students take courses across several disciplines including Biology to understand the natural processes of fresh plant and animal products as they lose freshness; Chemistry to determine the quality and quantity of vitamins, minerals, and proteins in our foods when we eat them; Microbiology to understand the causes of food poisoning; and Math and Engineering to help develop ways to treat foods, calculate expiration dates, and prevent outbreaks. Food science students apply this knowledge in a series of practical courses that prepare them for careers in the food industry or governmental agencies, tailoring the major into either a Business or Science, Technology, & Engineering emphasis.
