The Department of Grain Science and Industry offers three curricula: a bachelor of science in bakery science and management; a bachelor of science in feed science and management; and a bachelor of science in milling science and management. In the baking science curriculum, options are available in cereal chemistry or production management. In the milling science curricula, an option may be selected in administration, chemistry, or operations. The feed science curriculum has specialization electives emphasizing administration or engineering. This department also participates in the food science curriculum.

Students must complete the university general education requirements specified by the College of Agriculture. See the College of Agriculture General Requirements section.
