Institute for Food Laws and Regulations

Online Education for Food Industry Professionals

The Institute for Food Laws and Regulations (IFLR) at Michigan State University offers graduate degree and continuing education programs designed specifically for food industry professionals. All courses are delivered 100% online and asynchronously, allowing students to manage their studies alongside work and personal responsibilities. Students have the option to pursue a certificate in U.S. or International Food Law, or work toward a Master of Science in Food Regulatory Affairs. Many begin by enrolling in a single course to address a specific challenge in their workplace and choose to continue their studies from there.
