Dairy – Farm to Table

Dairy science is an application of the sciences, engineering and technology, and business for the study of milk production and processing. Dairy production is the study of production of milk, management of the farm, feeding, breeding and herd health. Dairy manufacturing is the study of processing and merchandising of milk and milk products. SDSU is unique nationwide in that it offers programs that cover the dairy industry from the farm to product. The Dairy industry minor is designed to provide students the knowledge and skills in both the farm and product aspect and thereby enhance their employment opportunities. This will enable employment opportunities in a growing industry. Students will be able to select elective courses based on their interests.
