Why do a Food Science Minor at Dal?

If you wonder about chemicals in food, are curious about the chemistry behind cooking and have a passion for science and for food, then Food Science may be for you.

This program gives students enrolled in a BSc Major or Honours program the opportunity to obtain a minor in Food Science to complement their major or honours subjects.

Food Science is the interdisciplinary application of science — chemistry, microbiology, physics and engineering — to the study of food. Because it applies science to finding practical solutions to problems with our food supply, it's been called the perfect marriage of the sciences and engineering.

We design new food products, engineering new processes and improve the taste, nutrition and safety of food. Doing a minor in food science complements any science degree.
