The Food Industry is the largest industry in the United States and needs several thousand outstanding college graduates every year. The demand for well-trained men and women in research and development, quality control, food safety, marketing and production control is rapidly increasing. 

Cal Poly's Food Science Program is designed to meet that demand.

What sets Food Science at Cal Poly apart from all other programs is the hands-on experience you will receive. From state-of-the-art facilities and intensive one-on-one relationships with our faculty, to industry internships and our deep involvement with the Institute of Food Technologists and the California League of Food Processors, our students not only learn what to do, but acquire a valuable "Can Do" attitude in applying their knowledge. 

As we like to say, you will be career and industry-ready when you graduate from Cal Poly with a Bachelor's degree in Food Science.
