Curricula for the BSc (FSc) in Food Chemistry
Overview
This program is intended for those students interested in the chemistry of foods. The courses are integrated to acquaint the student with various aspects of food chemistry. The program prepares one for employment as a scientist in industry or government in regulatory, research, quality control, or product development capacities. Graduates have the academic qualifications for membership in the Canadian Institute of Food Science and Technology amd the Institute of Food Technologists. Graduates may also qualify for admission to the Ordre des chimistes du Québec which confers the right of practice as an accredited professional chemist in Quebec per se as well in the rest of Canada.
