    About Chemistry (B.S.)/Food Safety and Technology (M.A.S.)

    Chemistry faculty research programs cut across the traditional boundaries to solve real-world problems in catalysis, pharmaceuticals, therapeutics, materials, and sustainable energy. The aim of this program is to develop chemists who are able to think creatively and critically.

    Prepare for a career in the food industry by simultaneously earning a bachelor's degree in chemistry and a master's degree in food safety and technology.

    Illinois Techs undergraduate program in chemistry provides rigorous education in the fundamental areas of chemical theory and chemical experimentation. Undergraduate training provides a solid foundation in all five basic areas of chemistry: analytical, inorganic, organic, physical, and biochemistry.

    The masters degree in food safety and technology provides training in food science to translate into careers as food safety experts in the private sector and public health agencies. A specialization in business introduces core topics in modern business practices. A specialization in industry management introduces core topics in technologies and modern management approaches used in world-class industrial companies.
