Food Science is an exciting multidisciplinary scientific field where concepts from various science-based courses are utilized to develop and produce foods that are safe, palatable, healthy and economical. Food Science students are prepared in this program to address the ever-changing goals of our food industry: healthy food that meets dietary guidelines for consumers and profitable manufacturing methods for producers. Have you ever wondered if there is a more meaningful way to apply your background in science? Consider the Food Science program at Auburn – after all, each food product at your grocery store was conceptualized, developed, and manufactured by a team of food scientists.
