The South Dakota State University Department of Dairy and Food Science encourages everyone to celebrate Dairy Month by enjoying their favorite dairy foods like milk, cheese, butter and the famous SDSU ice cream. For those who want to turn their love of dairy into a career, the department is adding a new two-year degree program to its offerings.
The new dairy technology associate degree will have two tracks. Dairy products will focus on manufacturing delicious and nutritious dairy products, and dairy production will focus on dairy cattle and milk production. Both the products and the production degree tracks will include traditional classroom learning and hands-on opportunities.
