Also, food science classes are interesting because you are combining chemistry, biology, engineering, and nutrition with food. The Food Science and Technology major has recently expanded its curriculum with the addition of an international option and the revision of its technology option. International focuses on the involvement in the expanding international food industry.
Science focuses on research techniques.
In addition to the facilities, you also have opportunities for hands-on experience including employment in individual research laboratories and in the departmental Dairy Store, internships in the food industry, and class tours to commercial food processing plants in the Midwest. Activities NU students have access to hundreds of activities and groups related to specific academic, social, cultural, or political interests. As a Food Science and Technology major, you may be particu-larly interested in the Food Science Club. In addition, many Food Science and Technology students are active members in the agricultural honor societies, Alpha Zeta and Gamma Sigma Delta. Involvement in any of these organizations builds leadership, communication, and organizational skills while you meet new friends who share similar interests.
