This option is approved by the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) and it stresses learning scientific concepts with the application of theoretical principles. It provides the opportunity to expand beyond the background provided by the required courses of the major. The elective courses under this option provide additional background to prepare students to become food chemists, food microbiologists, or food-processing technologists. This option is also a good fit for students who are interested in pursuing a master’s and/or a doctoral degree in a science or technology field in the future.

For an alternative and interdisciplinary way to complete some of their GE requirements, students may choose the Interdisciplinary General Education program, see below.
Interdisciplinary General Education: 18 units
An alternate pattern for partial fulfillment of GE Areas A, C, and D available for students is the Interdisciplinary General Education (IGE) program. Students should see an advisor for specific GE coursework required by their major. Please refer to the University Catalog General Education Program section for additional information.
How IGE fulfills General Education Requirements:
| GE Area |
Courses |
| A2 |
IGE 1100 and IGE 1200
Category II students are eligible to enroll in IGE 1100 (Fall) and IGE 1200 (Spring) as a two-course sequence to fulfill GE Area A2. Students who choose this sequence will also satisfy GE Area C2. Category III and IV students need to enroll in English composition courses in the A2 GE course list. |
| C1 |
IGE 2350 |
| C2 |
IGE 1100 , IGE 1200 , IGE 2150 , or IGE 2250 |
| C3 |
IGE 3100 |
| D1 |
IGE 2150 or IGE 2250
Also satisfy American Institutions Part A |
| D4 |
IGE 3100 |
A single course cannot be double-counted across multiple GE Areas.
American Institutions: 6 units
Courses that satisfy this requirement may also satisfy GE Areas D1 and D2.
Graduation Writing Test
The Graduation Writing Test (GWT) is suspended until Fall 2025. Students entering Cal Poly Pomona before Fall 2025 are not required to take the Graduation Writing Test.
