Master of Food Process Engineering

The Master of Food Process Engineering program prepares students in all aspects relating to food processing, including the engineering principles of food, food process design, food biotechnology, and statistical quality process control.
A unique collaborative research program between Illinois Tech and the United States Food and Drug Administration—located at Illinois Tech's Moffett Campus—provides our master's students with the opportunity to work on projects alongside FDA scientists. This practical experience gives students critical exposure to how the FDA approaches food processing issues in a cooperative setting that only exists at Illinois Tech. Graduates report that hands-on experiences like these are a distinctive advantage when competing for jobs in the food industry.
