in the Colleges of Agricultural and Environmental<br />
Sciences and Engineering, and the Schools of Medicine<br />
and Veterinary Medicine.<br />
Graduate Study. The interdepartmental Graduate<br />
Group in Food Science offers programs of study<br />
leading to the M.S. degree and to the Ph.D. degree.<br />
Graduate studies stress the application of the biological,<br />
chemical, physical, and behavioral sciences to<br />
the processing, preservation, quality evaluation,<br />
public health aspects, and utilization of foods. For<br />
the M.S. degree, there are four areas of specialization:<br />
chemistry-biochemistry, microbiology, engineering-technology<br />
and sensory science. Individually<br />
designed programs are also acceptable. For the<br />
Ph.D., there are four areas of emphasis: biochemistry,<br />
chemistry, microbiology/fermentation, and sensory<br />
science. Detailed information regarding<br />
graduate study is available through the Group<br />
Chairperson or the Group office.<br />
Graduate Advisers. Contact the Food Science<br />
Graduate Group office at kjhunter@ucdavis.edu.<br />
