The interdepartmental MSc program is the focal point for graduate teaching and research in food safety and quality assurance. The FSQA program is intended to prepare food scientists, food engineers, microbiologists and others with appropriate scientific backgrounds for participation in food safety monitoring and management in the food industry and in government food regulatory roles. Students wishing to undertake graduate studies at the MSc level with an emphasis on food safety and quality assurance will be working on a project with an approved advisor.
Study mode: full-time | Location: Guelph, Ontario, Canada
Completion of the MSc FSQA program requires a minimum of seven courses (or 4.0 credits) acceptable for graduate credit.
The program is most suitable for those with an undergraduate degree in food science or microbiology and for those currently employed in the food safety and quality assurance fields in government regulatory work or in the food industry who desire upgrading of skills and knowledge. Applicants for admission to this program must meet the admission requirement of a baccalaureate in an honours program (or the equivalent) in a relevant field of study from a recognized university or college with an average standing of at least a 'B' average.
