The Master of Food Safety and Technology program trains students to be food safety experts in the private sector and at federal and state health agencies. Students will gain a working knowledge of food microbiology, food packaging, food chemistry, food analysis, human nutrition, and food regulations.
A unique collaborative research program between Illinois Tech and the United States Food and Drug Administration—located on the Illinois Tech's Moffett Campus—provides our master's students with the opportunity to work on projects alongside FDA scientists. This practical, hands-on experience gives students critical exposure to how the FDA approaches food safety and nutrition issues in a cooperative setting that only exists at Illinois Tech. Graduates say this experience is a distinctive advantage when competing for jobs within the food industry.
