The job skills that you will need in order to be a food scientist are good analytical and problem-solving skills as well as an ability to interpret data critically. You will develop your skills in ICT by supporting experimental work and in the preparation and production of reports and assignments. You also improve your numerical and statistical awareness through practical and theoretical work. Group or individual projects give you experience of planning and organizing your time (and that of others) and of researching and gathering information. All States have a land-grant college that offers agricultural science degrees. Many other colleges and universities also offer agricultural science degrees or some agricultural science courses.
