The Status of Dairy Manufacturing Majors in the Land Grant Colleges of the United States and Canada

Department of Food Technology, University of Illinois, Urbana

ABSTRACT

A survey of the colleges in the United States and Canada offering instructional work in the field of dairy manufactures was made in the spring of 1959. Data were obtained from 40 departments in this country and four in Canada. The summarized results follow:

Data for the sophomore and freshman year are not too significant, since in a number of colleges majors are not declared until the junior year, so that, in some cases, accurate records on registration in dairy manufactures for the first 2 yr. are not available.

The study revealed a number of interesting-facts, which are summarized as follows:

1. The department having the largest number of seniors graduating this year reported 20 candidates for a degree.
   
2. There were nine departments reporting ten or more seniors.
   
3. There were 22 departments reporting fewer than five seniors, and ten departments had only one senior. One department reported no majors in dairy manufactures.
