About Food Science, B.s. in University of Idaho
We offer a bachelor's degree in food science, under which you may choose one of three option areas: dairy foods management, fermentation science or food science.
How foods are made, kept safe, the way they are packaged, even the way they taste, feel or look, are all results of food science.
In this program, you will study biology, chemistry, nutrition, engineering and other sciences. You will learn to apply this knowledge in the laboratory to research and develop new or improved food and beverage products with novel flavors, textures and colors.
Much of your education will take place in the on-campus labs, where you could examine food-spoiling bacteria, analyze foodborne pathogens, collect taste-sensory data, or learn how to process and package meat, dairy and cereal products.
