About this course

What will I learn?

Gain the knowledge to address pressing social and environmental problems in local and global food systems. Food studies is a rapidly growing field of study that responds to the need for experts in food-related policy work, community organizing, and entrepreneurship. The B.A. in Food Studies (offered in collaboration with the B.S. in Nutrition and Food Systems) prepares students to become changemakers in the world's food systems through an interdisciplinary approach that examines how food is connected to culture, society, policy, and the environment. As the first U.S. city to be designated a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, Tucson is an ideal setting to pursue a degree in Food Studies. It has a vibrant food scene offering countless opportunities for applied research experiences and internships with a wide range of local and regional partners. Upon completing the program, students are equipped to work in any number of food-related fields, including education, public policy, entrepreneurship, and community development.
