Our Learning Spaces
Throughout the program, you will take courses with lab sections in our modern facilities. In these spaces, you’ll interact with equipment and instrumentation common to the industry.
Internships
We encourage you complete an internship during your studies. Our program has strong ties to the food and fermentation industry, and many internship positions are available throughout the year. Through an internship you are able to experience different areas within the fermentation industry, helping you discover your future career goals.
Industry members with internship and job opportunities can post to the FSHN Job Board or contact Jeff Callaway at jeffrey.callaway@colostate.edu.
Research
You will have several opportunities to develop your laboratory and research skills. You must complete a capstone research project that is developed and mentored by an industry partner. You can also sign up for Independent Study credits and work with program faculty and staff on related research projects. These experiences will help you develop skills on how to set up a well-designed research project, develop basic laboratory techniques, focus on learning specific lab methods, and interact with industry and faculty members.
Find out more about our research collaborations or contact Jeff Callaway at jeffrey.callaway@colostate.edu, if you are an industry member wanting to collaborate on a research project.
Study Abroad
International study, research, internship, and service experiences are once-in-a-lifetime, life-changing opportunities with enormous academic, personal, and professional benefits.
