Only one student graduated in the past year. An exit survey was conducted to collect feedback from the student. The program identified low enrollment as a major challenge. It has built 3+2 partnerships with three prestigious universities in China to bring in students. The 3+2 program allows well performing students to obtain a BS from their home universities and a MS in Food Science at UH Manoa. Students are expected to enter the program in 2016.
