Certificate in Food Science
Description
Gain a broad understanding of food science by concentrating on the chemistry, microbiology and processing of foods, and on the maintenance of food safety and quality throughout. If you are looking to advance your career in the food industry, develop new job responsibilities in a food-related industry, or build food industry skills for a new position or change in career, then this program is well suited for you.
Prerequisites
Participation in the certificate requires the completion of post-secondary level microbiology and chemistry. If you have completed these at another institution, please send your transcript and indicate the course codes, so we can waive your prerequisite requirements. You can email the Learner Success Advisor.
If you have not completed these courses in previous studies, we have approved Thompson Rivers University CHEM1523 and Athabasca University BIOL325. Please register for these courses and upon successful completion of them both, send your transcript showing passing grades to the Learner Success Advisor to participate in the certificate.
If you wish to take these courses at an alternate institution, please contact the Learner Success Advisor before registering with the institution name and course codes so the courses can be assessed for equivalency.
FOOD*2010 is the only course within the certificate that does not require the prerequisite requirements completed ahead of time.
