The Department of Food Science again ranked No. 1 in the U.S. and No. 5 globally out of 250 institutions in the Food Science and Technology category. Food science has placed among the Top 10 in the global rankings since 2018 and has placed first in the U.S. at least four times.
The food science program, which is the oldest of its kind in the U.S., features internationally recognized faculty members and attracts innovative students and post-doctoral researchers who have made significant contributions to the field.
“This recognition reflects the excellence of our faculty, students, and staff,” said Lili He, professor and head of the Department of Food Science. “We are grateful for the Future Food initiatives, which will continue to drive innovation in our department and strengthen food-related disciplines across the university.”
