The Food Science Graduate Program is a research-oriented, basic science program offering M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Graduates are well versed in the primary disciplines of biology, chemistry and engineering as they apply to food systems and receive specialized training in their area of expertise. The program includes a significant number of part-time students and most graduate courses are offered after 4:30 p.m. to accommodate these students.
Our faculty conducts research involving insect plant interactions, biology and spread of invasive insects, public health related insects and ticks, biological monitoring of earth's environment, and pests of blueberries, cranberries, ornamentals, tree fruit, turf, and vegetables. The program offers courses and research opportunities leading to doctoral, master's degrees in entomology
