Create new and better foods.
Apply chemistry, physics, engineering and processing technology to develop healthy foods that taste good, process better, ship well, and last longer. Food Science & Technology is a license to get creative. Or be analytical. Or get on a pre-professional track: pre-med, pre-dental, pre-pharm, pre-vet. Food scientists are in high demand - with a BS degree, you can start at around $48,000/year and with experience make over $100,000.
