SPECIAL NOTES: For the Bachelor of Science Degree, students must complete
a minimum of 124 credits with at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA. Students must
take their last 30 credits in residence while officially enrolled in the
College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. Degree credit will be granted
only once for courses that are repeated. Other degree requirements are
outlined in the Undergraduate Catalog.

*Choosing not to also pursue the BS-Agricultural Engineering Degree results in having to complete ALL the requirements of the BS-Natural Sciences Degree with a major in Food Science only.

**All students also pursuing the BS-Agricultural Engineering Degree must complete the National Fundamentals of Engineering Exam, offered twice yearly, prior to graduation.
