Areas of specialization include nutrition, dietetics, food chemistry, food processing and safety, and food microbiology. Research within areas of specialization includes nutri- tional biochemistry, nutritional status, food product development, food chemistry and analytical methodology, food quality, food microbiology, seafood technology, citrus processing, toxicology, and the metabolism and analysis of pesticide residues in plant and animal tissues. A supervised internship in dietetics is available as a part of a master's degree plus work ex- perience program leading to Dietetic Registration. Through a cooperative program administered by the Departments of Food Science and Human Nutrition and Agricultural Engineering, a student can pursue a graduate specialization in food engineering. Students should have sufficient background in physical and biological sciences, and food science or nutrition.
