My first bachelors was in agribusiness simply because I wanted something different than business administration. However, I graduated when the pandemic started in spring of 2020. I lost the opportunity to use my degree because of the lack of job prospects of using my degree. I also loved food and learning how things are made and what works well and what does not and how can we make deserts healthier. I have thought of animal nutrition or dairy science or pomology or cereal or grain science but have no experience in any field as I did not grow up on a farm or ranch. What would you suggest that i do?
Thank you. I did my undergrad in chemical engineering but have no work experience in it. I have always been super interested in food and want to pursue a masters in food science. Btw your videos are super informative and have really helped me.
Thank you. The video is helpful. I have a background in Microbiology and would love to pursue a postgraduate degree in Food Science focusing on Food Microbiology and Food Safety.
That's a great choice! I have a friend I met in graduate school who did the same thing :) She had a bachelor's degree in microbiology and then got a master's degree in food microbiology!
My biggest worry is that you might not have all the science prereq classes (organic chem, biochem, etc) to start a master's degree. I would look into the college's specific requirements near you to check!
Is it possible to do m phill/Ms in microbiology after bachlors in food science and technology? Mean does a food scientist choose a non food degree like micro at Ms level education.
Thank you for the video. I'm a bachelor in Instrumentation and control engineering with a good GPA and lot of projects on biomedical field and I'm very much fascinated by food science. Is it possible for me to get through the admission process for food science or food technology in renowned universities? Thanks in advance..
I don't see why not. You might actually have the advantageous of having a very unique background! Certain food science research projects might be well suited for you over a traditional food scientist. Rather than simply applying to the graduate program I would figure out what professors you're interested in doing research for and personally reach out to them. Once a professor wants you to work for them, they can help get you through the admissions process.
The only thing I'd worry about is where I went to college (UW-Madison) the dietetics major didn't have all the science prerequisites needed for food science. For example, two semesters o chem, biochem, 2 semesters physics, etc. Some of these classes might be required for applying to a food science grad school but I'm not certain.
I'm about to start a food science program and my bachelor's degree is in political science and law with a minor in development studies. I also have a JD and will likely go into food regulatory work, so that might impact how I got in. Many masters programs will take the approach that it is your time and money to waste if you can't keep up. I would recommend figuring out which area of food science you would like to work in and find the program that matches it. E.g. Cornell has a big dairy program, Texas A&M does beef, Michigan State does food defense. All of these schools have full programs, so you're not locked into a specialty but you have a focus if that is important to you. After that, find the coordinator for each program and send them an email laying out your academic and/or work experience and ask if it would be a good match for the school. They might say it is fine or suggest a way to get a conditional acceptance if you complete certain courses first. I was admitted while being very clear about my lack of college-level science courses and have spent the summer teaching myself organic chem and starting biochem. I don't recall seeing physics prerequisites in the programs I was interested in, but it might be elsewhere.
Hi, I found your channel very informative. Thanks for sharing insightful knowledge of Food Science. As a newcomer to Canada with an agriculture educational and professional background, I am working in a food manufacturing quality control lab. Please introduce me to related certificates like HACCP, GMPs, etc,? and where can I get them?
Thank you so much for this video.. I have background in Biology and I'm looking to pursue a masters degree in food innovation and product design, I'm having issues writing my personal Statement for this.. Can you help me in anyway? Please?
The best piece of advice I got for writing a personal statement was to write sentences that no one else can write. Basically, what is unique about you or what is something the reader will remember you by. I also hated writing my personal statement but we all have to do it :) Just try to show how you would be an asset and try to be memorable.

Yup, it was a stinky project! :)

I'm happy you found this video then! It's really difficult to find good info on food science which is why I started making these videos :)
@@AbbeytheFoodScientist How about business degree holder? Is it doable?

Hello I just graduated with a degree in food technology this year.
What about someone who has done a bachelor in culinary arts management?
My biggest worry is that you might not have all the science prereq classes (organic chem, biochem, etc) to start a master's degree. I would look into the college's specific requirements near you to check!
@@AbbeytheFoodScientist ok. Thank you so much!
Dude plz make video for full scholarship phd programs abroad regarding food science
I really enjoy your videos! I'm from Chile!
So happy you are here! You might be my first follower from Chile :)

Thanks!
How about who is a business degree graduate? is it doable?

I had University level chemistr, physics and applied mathematics courses in my curriculum too

Good evening,thanks for uploading again
Please how many years is food science in USA
2:How many years do they give them to work after school (opt)
In the US here's a breakdown: Bachelor's degree= four years, master's degree ~2 years, and PhD about~3-4 years!
@@AbbeytheFoodScientist Thank you
Hey can I do Masters in food science after a bachelors in nutrition & dietics? will the transition be easy?
The only thing I'd worry about is where I went to college (UW-Madison) the dietetics major didn't have all the science prerequisites needed for food science. For example, two semesters o chem, biochem, 2 semesters physics, etc. Some of these classes might be required for applying to a food science grad school but I'm not certain.
@@AbbeytheFoodScientist oh ok thanks the same applies for bachelors in nutrition & health too right?
@@ananta5340 Yes, I would guess that's a very similar situation

Also, my program advisor got a PhD in food science with a BA in film. He did a post bac program in between to get the prerequisites.

Hi Abbey, What are you doing? Let's go to the mall.
