<p>I am a college freshman at another university and I have been looking into food science programs. I've heard that UMass Amherst has a good program. Any details? Would I be able to transfer in?</p>
<p>I don’t really know anything about UMass’s food science program. </p>
<p>I haven’t heard that the food science program is competitive for admissions, so I would think as long as your grades at your current school are are good you should be able to transfer in without too much difficulty.</p>
<p>You should be able to transfer in.
I’m pretty sure the food science department is looking for majors, since they frequently advertise on the ads in the dining halls.</p>
<p>As you probably already know, the PhD in Food Science at UMass is ranked #1.</p>
<p>Another option is Framingham State, which also offers a BS in [Food</a> Science](<a href=“http://www.framingham.edu/chemistry/programs/food-science-major.html]Food”>http://www.framingham.edu/chemistry/programs/food-science-major.html) within the Chemistry Dept. If you are a resident of CT, NH, or RI, you qualify for a [Regional</a> tuition discount](<a href=“http://www.framingham.edu/admissions/undergraduate/tuition-and-fees.html]Regional”>http://www.framingham.edu/admissions/undergraduate/tuition-and-fees.html) for the Food Science major.</p>
