About the University of Georgia
The University of Georgia ( UGA ), a land-grant and sea-grant university with statewide commitments and responsibilities, is the state's oldest, most comprehensive, and most diversified institution of higher education (). UGA is currently ranked among the top 15 public universities in U.S. News & World Report. The University's main campus is located in Athens, approximately 65 miles northeast of Atlanta, with extended campuses in Atlanta, Griffin, Gwinnett, and Tifton. UGA was founded in 1785 by the Georgia General Assembly as the first state-chartered University in the country. UGA employs approximately 1,800 full-time instructional faculty and more than 7,700 full-time staff. The University's enrollment exceeds 39,000 students including over 30,000 undergraduates and over 9,000 graduate and professional students. Academic programs reside in 18 schools and colleges, as well as a medical partnership with Augusta University housed on the UGA Health Sciences Campus in Athens.
About the College/Unit/Department
The Department of Food Science and Technology in Athens, Georgia occupies a three-story building on the south campus of the University of Georgia. It contains classrooms, teaching and research laboratories, pilot plants with food processing equipment, and a computer center for student use. A building addition allows for advanced food safety work and facilities for conducting food industry workshops. The department also has research facilities in Griffin, Georgia.
We offer programs leading to bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. During the first two years of the food science bachelor's program, students take courses in chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, physics, mathematics, and statistics, and then complete their work in food chemistry, microbiology, nutrition, product development and processing.
Food Science and Technology faculty have expertise in the basic sciences, food science, and food technology. Faculty members teach and serve as academic advisers to both undergraduate and graduate students. In addition, faculty members conduct food science research to improve food quality and availability, enhance economic development, prevent food borne diseases, and improve process efficiency while limiting environmental impact.
The Food Product Innovation and Commercialization Center and the Center for Food Safety are also located in Griffin. FoodPIC assists companies in developing new food products efficiently and economically. FoodPIC facilitates commercialization of food products by providing intellectual resources and physical facilities for both start-up ventures and existing food companies.
The Center for Food Safety was established in April 1993 with a mission of maintaining and improving the safety of foods through the development of methods that detect, control, or eliminate pathogenic microorganisms or their toxins.
