The Food Science Certificate is composed of five degree-credit courses in food science taken via distance. Courses are delivered using print, DVD, World Wide Web, online conferencing, CD-ROM supplemental resource materials, group work and even at-home activities! Courses may be taken individually if that better suits your learning needs.

This certificate is designed to provide a broad understanding of food science for people with little or no formal food science education. It will be of interest to those wishing to upgrade their knowledge and will benefit those with new job responsibilities, new positions or those looking to change careers. The distance format will appeal to those with busy or irregular schedules who are self-motivated, organized and eager to learn.
