Meat Processing and Food Safety Faculty

The meat processing/food safety faculty at Eastern Oklahoma State College are dedicated to teach the students all of the aspects of the meat industry. With the small class sizes in the meat science program there is a family feel to the program, the instructors and the students are on a first name basis and our students are very comfortable with the one-on-one time they get in instruction. Our program is a very hands-on learning experience and is geared to help students with learning experiences that can not be found in the classroom. All of our instructors have an open door policy and are accountable to their students.
