Nutrition and Food Science Research. Our faculty conduct research on the role of bioactives in the prevention of chronic diseases such as cancer and obesity. Picture of alfalfa lab.

Undergraduate programs include food science, nutrition science, and food systems industry management.

Graduate programs include a master of science in food science, a master of science in nutrition, a doctorate in food science, the dietetic internship, a doctorate in nutrition, and a dual masters.

The Department of Nutrition and Food Science was established in January 2005 upon a rich heritage of Aggie leadership in nutrition and food science. In creating the Department, the state of Texas and Texas A&M University recognized the importance of the disciplines of nutrition and food science in maintaining health and preventing diseases.
