Department of Food Science & Nutrition
University of Minnesota

---

The Department of Food Science and Nutrition offers undergraduate and graduate programs in Nutrition and in Food Science that prepare students for careers related to food and health. Students graduate from the undergraduate programs with a Bachelor of Science degree. Students may obtain either Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degrees from graduate programs.

The studies of nutrition and food science cover the food continuum from the producer to the consumer, including food processing, product development, food distribution and marketing, its preparation and serving, and the nutrition of people as it relates to health, the prevention of chronic diseases and their treatment.

The Department of Food Science and Nutrition is jointly administered by the College of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Science (CAFES) and the College of Human Ecology (CHE) and the Food Science Program and the Nutrition Program are open to students registered in either College.
