K-States Food Science Institute offers new distance learning course
Kansas State Universitys Food Science Institute will begin offering a new distance education course in the spring 2007 semester about regulations dealing with kosher and halal food production.
Kosher and Halal Food Regulations, or FDSCI 630, is a two credit-hour course that will be taught by Joe M. Regenstein, professor of food science at Cornell University and head of the Cornell Kosher Food Initiative. Regenstein also is an adjunct professor of food science at K-State.
The course is for students in food science, dietetics, agricultural economics, the hotel and hospitality industry, animal sciences, and religious and area studies. People already in the food industry may find the course helpful for career development. All students and adult learners in degree and non-degree programs may take the course as a general education requirement at K-State. Credits from the course may be transferred to other educational institutions, when possible.
