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.
