Pushing the boundaries of food development through science is at the core of Drexel University's Master of Science (MS) in Food Science. The program offers dynamic, multidisciplinary education grounded in the latest research techniques and technological applications for those interested in applying science to meet an ever-growing demand for healthy, safe, and nutritious foods. The MS in Food Science is a unique program, collaborating with the faculty and students of Culinary Arts pursuing the art and taste of good food. MSFS students participate in novel product development for companies seeking sustainable and interesting new products. Students gain a comprehensive overview of the food industry. The curriculum includes both theoretical and applied aspects of the science, technology, sustainability, and safety of food. Food scientists learn to integrate and apply knowledge from the disciplines of chemistry, physics, engineering, microbiology, nutrition, and culinary arts in order to preserve, process, package, and distribute foods that are safe, nutritious, enjoyable, and affordable.
