Food Science Professional Development Certificates

At Mount Mary, we recognize that working professionals have many responsibilities and that your time is limited. For this reason, we are also offering the M.S. in Food Science degree as three stackable professional development certificates:

 

  • Food Processing Chemistry (FPC)
  • Food Safety and Toxicology (FST)
  • Food Science Research (FSR)

Each professional development certificate is 7-13 credits, and can stand alone or be combined to complete the entire M.S. in Food Science. As long as you satisfactorily complete the three professional development certificates within seven years, you will earn the M.S. in Food Science.
