Sign Up for Our New Food Science Course!
Food science is an exciting field that uses chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, and engineering to solve food issues locally and throughout the world.
NUTRI 335 Food Science will be taught, in person, at the SCC Davis Center and will include several tours of the Food Science facilities at UC Davis including the Robert Mondavi Food and Wine Institute. NUTRI 335 is part of a Food Science degree which is now being developed at SCC. The introductory course is equivalent to FST 1 at UC Davis. A student who completes the course, along with the science and math requirements for a Food Science major will be ready to transfer to UCD as a Junior where they can then choose a specialization, such as beer-brewing.
No other community college in the North Sacramento region offers a Food Science program. Yet this is a field that, based on analyses of the local labor market, has a continuing and growing need for skilled labor.
