Food Industry
Study Option
Students receive
training that emphasizes scientific disciplines related to the processing,
chemistry, and safety of animal-derived foods. The option prepares
students for careers in animal production or the associated food
processing industries.
Beyond the Core
Curriculum, Specialty Support courses outside of the Animal and
Food Sciences Department are required. In addition, ASC 300
is a requirement of this study option.

|
a
In
selecting electives, students should keep in mind the need
to accumulate 45 hours of coursework at the 300 level and
above. Selection of courses, which meet this requirement,
earlier in the program will create greater flexibility in
the Senior year.
Courses
in bold font should be taken in the year listed or earlier.
They are either required at that time (such as GEN 100) or
are prerequisite requirements for future courses. Alternate
scheduling of bold faced courses may impair your preparation
for that or other courses.
b
Course is available both spring and fall semesters.
c
At least one of the required production courses must
pertain to food and fiber species.
d
To be used in fulfillment of the Graduation Writing Requirement,
ENG 203 must be taken after the student has earned at least
30 credit hours.
Note:
If
students have not fulfilled the foreign language requirement
by having two years of the same language in high school, they
will need to use some elective hours to fulfill the USP II
requirement . Students who take preparatory courses
(i.e. MA 108R) may need to take additional coursework during
the regular academic year or in the summer to meet benchmarks. |
