Yes, Civil Engineering would be his major of choice if not Food Science. UCSD does not offer a Civil Eng major but has four `branches/concentrations under the umbrella of structural eng.
At Aggie Day, we visited the College of Ag and Env. Sci tent and spoke with Food Science representatives. They got us all excited about the program… opportunity to study at Wageningen in the Netherlands (tops not only in Food Science but Env Studies and Forestry). Hmm…
Thanks for the UCD change of major criteria. Multiple major or minor also a possibility. Both mom and dad want to go back to school
