Welcome to the Food Science Graduate Group. Members of this group apply a fundamental understanding of biological, chemical, physical, and behavioral sciences to the processing, preservation, quality evaluation, public health aspects, and utilization of foods. The graduate group offers programs leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Food Science, with research pursued under the direction of one of our faculty members.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Food Science Graduate Group (FSGG) is to generate knowledge about foods through research with the goal of ensuring the availability of safe, nutritious, appealing food, with minimum environmental impact, for the benefit of all people.

Commitment to Community

Guided by the UCD Principles of Community and the UC Regent’s statement on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the FSGG at the University of California, Davis, is committed to an inclusive environment where all students, faculty, and staff are respected and appreciated. FSGG faculty and students seek to advance understanding of human development across contexts. We believe that a broad range of perspectives strengthens our efforts toward this aim. FSGG strives for a diverse faculty, staff and student membership and encourages applications from all individuals regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, age, religion, language, abilities/disabilities, sexual orientation, gender identity, immigration status, geographic region, or socioeconomic status. 

FSGG’s academic home is the UC Davis Deparment of Food Science and Technology, and therefore shares its mission for justice, equity, diversity and inclusion.
