Program Overview

Improving the sustainability, quality and safety of food systems is essential to fight climate change and feed a growing population. Food scientists develop products with added nutritional value; they investigate food-borne illness and fraud, design environmentally friendly and smart packaging, and provide expert advice when unsafe foods end up in consumers’ hands. Built on a strong natural sciences foundation and important transferrable skills, Food Science prepares students for the challenges of their generation.

The Carleton Advantage
Food Science at Carleton is a unique and broad-based interdisciplinary program. Within the context of regulations, our program teaches students to investigate and analyze nutrients, natural toxins, chemical residues, microorganisms, and even the authenticity of food. Understanding the composition of food and its impact on human and environmental health is greatly needed for a sustainable future. Graduates of our program are equipped to tackle global challenges in the natural and life sciences.Students take both interactive lectures and lab courses, with additional experiential learning opportunities including co-op, research internships on and off campus, and a capstone project.
Our connections with government departments and agencies such as Health Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada provide students with an advantage when entering the workforce.
Over the past two years, 89 per cent of Food Science graduates secured employment or graduate studies in their field within six months of graduation!

Entrance Scholarships

If you have been admitted to Carleton with an admission average of 80 percent or better and meet language requirements, you will automatically be considered for a renewable entrance scholarship. The admission average we use is calculated from the marks submitted by your high school in support of your application. Entrance scholarships are offered for fall entry only. You may be offered a renewable entrance scholarship provided you are entering Carleton for the first time and have no previous attendance at post secondary educational institutions. If eligible when admitted to Carleton, the scholarship value will be determined by your admissions average as calculated at the time of admission.
