Suggested Plan of Study | Admission
Requirements
Food management graduates find employment in restaurants, hospitals, and school food service departments, as well as airline catering. Companies that produce foods, food ingredients, or processing equipment seek students who specialize in food management. Salespersons with technical expertise can readily find employment both in and outside of Maine demonstrating products or equipment for clients. Other opportunities exist in marketing and business management.
Scholarships are available through the department and college, as well as other organizations such as the National Restaurant Association and the
National Association of College and University Food Service
(NACUFS).
In addition to taking classes, students may elect to work on campus as student managers in the dining services and catering. Students are encouraged to gain valuable experience through these positions and summer employment. Internships are also available though NACUFS and other organizations. Since Maine is referred to as "vacationland" and is tourist-oriented, outstanding opportunities exist for students to progress into management positions. This program provides knowledge and skills that enable students to take advantage of opportunities in the food industry throughout the world.
Salaries for graduates may begin at $25,000 or above depending on location and position.
