Offered by: College of Agriculture, Nutrition and Food Science Department
The curriculum matrix for the degree program may be found here. The curriculum matrix is the alignment of courses (curriculum) with the desired goals and student learning outcomes of the program. It shows what is taught and how these outcomes are achieved through the completion of the degree program.

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.

Select a sufficient number of courses so that the total from Major Required, Subplan/Option Required, Subplan/Option Electives, Graduation Requirements, GE, and Unrestricted Electives is at least 120 units. Graduation Requirements: 9 units
American Institutions: 6 units
The CSU requires all students complete coursework in US History, US Government, and California and local Government. At CPP, this is a 2-course requirement: American Institutions Part A - US History and American Institutions Part B - US and California Government. Part A can be satisfied through the completion of coursework both inside and outside of GE, while Part B can be satisfied through the completion of GE Area 4B or by select courses in 4C. If students satisfy these requirements through GE or have satisfied this requirement at a previous institution, Unrestricted Electives may increase by 6 units. University Writing Requirement (UWR): 3 units
Students must complete a minimum of 3-units of a writing-intensive course or courses with a grade of C or higher. Students are eligible to take their UWR when they have completed 60 semester units. Writing-intensive courses are marked with a “W” in the catalog. General Education Requirements: 43 units
