Most people have had an episode of foodborne illness at one time or another; however, the majority of those stricken with foodborne illness fails to associate ill health with something consumed within the past 72 hours. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that foodborne diseases affect 30% of the population in developed countries, and that in developing countries, about 2 million people die yearly due to foodborne illness. Previous researchers have indicated that food handlers with poor personal hygiene are potential sources of infection. Although public health agencies in many countries already regularly inspect food facilities to control potential foodborne illnesses to some extent, the question of the most appropriate and effective means of achieving the goal of food safety remains unanswered. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine whether a color-coded placard grading system is an effective tool for achieving this goal while simultaneously educating the public about food safety. This study involved 1,410 randomly selected food service establishments, consisting of traditional restaurants, take-out restaurants, grocery stores, public school cafeterias, and institutional food facilities located in Alameda County, California. Inspection data were analyzed for the first 12 months of placard grading and compared to the following 12 months during the placard grading period. Statistical analysis results did not show significant differences in the CDC major violations and in confirmed foodborne illnesses between the 2 years. However, it is expected that the new program will provide improved food handling practices in the future. Improvement in food handling practices will contribute to social change by reducing the number of foodborne illnesses, promoting better health for the community, and educating the public about food safety.

Program Description

The Food Safety program was founded in 2001 to help meet the increasing need for individuals with food safety expertise in government, business, and academia. The graduate program is interdisciplinary, and NDSU graduate faculty from several colleges participate in advising graduate students. The NDSU Graduate School administers the academic program, while the home department of the adviser handles assistantship and tuition waiver administration. Academic policies are under the governance of the Food Safety graduate program faculty.

Degrees Offered and the Graduate Certificate   Three programs are offered at the graduate level. Research project-based degrees include the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and the Master of Science (M.S.). The thesis-based M.S. degree will prepare students for supervisory roles in the food industry, in regulatory agencies, or in public health and is preparatory for students who may wish to advance to Ph.D. programs. Individuals earning a Ph.D. degree will be educated as independent researchers, expanding their potential to become principal investigators of food safety research in various arenas, including business, academia, and government. The non-thesis M.S. is intended for working professionals looking to augment their skills or credentials. Most coursework can be completed online, although the candidate must be present on-campus to present seminar and also the M.S. paper. The Graduate Certificate in Food Protection is aimed at professionals looking to augment their skills, as well as graduate students in other programs wishing to add a credential to their degree programs. All course work for the Certificate is completed online.

For candidates who have been granted a M.S. from a recognized program, the Ph.D. program requires the completion of 35 semester credits of course work with an overall GPA of 3.0 or better, as well as 25 research credits (SAFE 899). Fifteen of these credits must be at the 700-789 level.  The Ph.D. program is, by design, highly flexible to allow study in the diverse areas of specialization that are related to food safety.  While a number of core courses, including SAFE 601-609, seminar (SAFE 790) and research (SAFE 899) are required, additional course work can be tailored to meet the candidate’s interests and area of specialization. This additional course work, however, must contribute to proficiency in an area of food safety.

An advisory committee will be established for each candidate admitted. This committee will consist of the major adviser (committee chair), and two other selected graduate faculty. The student and major adviser will prepare the plan of study, which is subject to the approval of the advisory committee, the Food Safety program director, and the Graduate School dean. The plan of study should be completed by the end of the first semester of enrollment in the program.

Ph.D. candidates are required to pass a preliminary examination at least one semester prior to the defense of the dissertation.  Two preliminary exam options are available. The first involves the standard written and oral examinations covering the candidate’s course work. The second involves successful preparation and defense of a research grant proposal, under accepted guidelines (e.g. USDA-NIFA, NIH). 

Master's of Science (M.S. thesis option)

The Master of Science (thesis) is a research degree and can prepare the candidate for future study at the doctoral level. The candidate will perform a novel research project designed to contribute to the body of knowledge in some area pertinent to food safety, prepare a thesis on this research, and defend it in a final oral examination administered by the advisory committee. This program requires a total of 30 semester credits with an overall GPA of 3.0 or better. A minimum of 21 credits of course work, as well as 6-10 research credits must be completed.  A minimum of 16 of these credits must be didactic (600-689 or 700-789).  SAFE 601-609, seminar (SAFE 790) and research (SAFE 798) are required. Remaining course work can be tailored to meet the candidate’s interests and area of specialization.

An advisory committee will be established for each candidate admitted. This committee will consist of the major adviser (committee chair), and two other selected graduate faculty. Additionally, the Graduate School will appoint an outside member of the committee. The student and major adviser will prepare the plan of study, which is subject to the approval of the advisory committee, the Food Safety program director, and the Graduate School dean. The plan of study should be completed by the end of the first semester of enrollment in the program.

Graduate Certificate in Food Protection Requirements

To be admitted to this program, students must demonstrate that they have a baccalaureate degree in an area pertinent to food safety from an accredited educational institution of recognized standing. To obtain a Graduate Certificate in Food Protection, students must successfully complete the nine (9) semester credits of core curriculum below and earn a grade of B or better in each course. All courses are offered online. Certificate students are assigned an adviser. No assistantships are available for Certificate applicants.

Non-Thesis M.Sc. Program in Food Safety

This 45-credit program is offered to candidates who seek further specialization in food safety but do not wish to pursue independent research. A strong undergraduate background in microbiology and knowledge of foodborne pathogens and food toxicants are required for admission to this program. Students complete a combination of graduate-level courses and a 12-credit research project.

The research project is a 12-week, full-time project under the direction of a staff member or external supervisor, including a detailed report on a food safety related topic which is submitted to the department. In the form of a literature review, the project will critically evaluate and summarize the current stage of development and suggest ways to resolve issues associated with the topic. The project also normally includes wet or dry lab work analyzing data that points to a current research problem in food science. 

It is up to the project instructor and program advisor to allow a student to be involved in a project external to the department or the University. An industry internship is not guaranteed. Students are permitted to receive funding for their participation in a research project or internship.

This M.Sc. non-thesis program only admits students in September. The duration is typically three academic terms, usually completed in a 12-month period. However, the program may be extended to accommodate, for example, a modified course load and/or additional required preparatory courses. 

The typical course load sequence is:

• 12-15 credits lectured courses in fall term (full-time)
• 12-15 credits lectured courses in winter term (full-time)
• 15 credits research project + graduate seminar in summer term (full-time)

Optional: An additional (part-time) term in the fall may be required depending on actual course loads and/or additional required preparatory coursework. 

You can view the current cost of tuition and ancillary fees for three academic terms (fall/winter/summer) using the McGill Student Accounts fee calculator . Select the appropriate residency and select Master's Non-Thesis Programs. The amount shown is for the fall and winter terms (two full-time terms, 30 credits). To estimate the total fees required for an M.Sc. non-thesis program, prorate the 30-credit estimate to 45 credits.

There is no financial assistance nor demonstratorship associated with this program. All applicants to this program must agree to be self-funded. Work for a co-op, research project, or internship will form an integral part of the student’s program. International students are required to have a work co-op permit in addition to a study permit.
