Admission RequirementsCumulative Undergraduate GPA: 3.0/4.0 Meeting the minimum GPA and test score requirements does not guarantee admission. Test scores and GPA are just two of several important factors considered. Admission to graduate degree programs in Food Safety and Technology and Food Process Engineering normally requires a bachelor's degree in: food science, biology, chemistry, chemical, agricultural, environmental engineering; or a related field. Depending on the student's background, additional deficiency courses, some of which may not count towards the degree, may be required. For application materials, please see our Program Documents page.

These courses are provided at a reduced tuition rate and do not contribute credit towards graduation.
