This curriculum is more flexible than the Food Science curriculum. It is designed to prepare students for a more general and broad-based career in the food industry in the areas of management and business administration, communications and general sales. The core program comprises food science, business, and communications, and is supplemented by a 12-15 credit hour specialization in a recommended area, such as: food quality and safety, nutrition, business, or communications. Special emphasis is placed on areas of concern to consumers and to the food industry, such as food safety, sensory evaluation, nutrition, and health.
The total number of hours required for graduation is 126.
