The Minor in Food Studies provides a holistic and broadly interdisciplinary examination of food's central place in the human experience. The Minor combines classroom and experiential work allowing students from a range of disciplines to gain valuable hands-on experience through opportunities to work in the Urban Farm, to utilize community connections and conduct service-learning with local hunger or relief efforts, or to document a variety of regional, occupational, and ethnic foodways. Because food plays a central role in our communities and the relationship of communities to the larger world, the Minor is particularly well-suited to promote student civic engagement.

1. Study and explore across disciplinary boundaries.


2. Take advantage of hands-on learning experiences.


3. Become a thoughtful, critical consumer and an engaged citizen.


4. Deepen your understanding of a fundamental aspect of human life.


5. Broaden your opportunities for further study or a future career.
