How can I gain practical experience to see if I am headed, careerwise, on the right track?
For more hands-on experience, a student can take course FST 199, an independent study with a professor on campus, wherein the student usually helps with, or conducts, an experiment in the professor’s lab. Internships (FST 192) are also available where the student works for a food-related company or State agency, either during the school year or during the summer break. From this, the student receives valuable hands-on experience, units (or transcript notation) and/or a paid salary.
