Wayne State University

Wayne State's Master of Science in Nutrition and Food Science program teaches students about food at every stage of its existence. This ranges from the process of growing ingredients and producing and distributing food, to how it impacts people's health.

At the master's level, these programs often take a professional perspective. That means courses might examine the roles and responsibilities inherent to careers in nutrition and food science. Some classes might also discuss research methodologies, and how to understand and apply research findings effectively. Because nutrition and food science approach the study of food from different angles, the specifics might vary.
