Food Science and Sustainable Technologies Food Science Option Four-Year Plan - Year Plan

Sep 26, 2026

Four-year academic planning for the Food Science Option within Food Science and Sustainable Technologies, organized by Fall, Winter, and Spring terms across the First through Fourth Years. The plan sequences required coursework in chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, nutrition, microbiology, food safety and sanitation, dairy processing, biochemistry, and food engineering and processing. It also specifies industry preparation with HACCP, food laws and regulations, sustainable food processing, fermentation microbiology, statistical methods, sensory evaluation, food chemistry fundamentals, food analysis, and packaging/manufacturing, plus flexible scheduling electives and core perspective courses.
