About the course

The 30-credit hour Master of Science in Food Studies curriculum focuses on the economy of food systems, including food governance, human rights, international trade, and food justice. Students develop skills and proficiency in how human health and nutrition, economic development, and the environment are shaped by local and global food policy, economic trends, and civil society. Additionally, we emphasize the development of competencies in research methods and program evaluation which magnifies graduate competitiveness for both Ph.D. academic positions and the job market. We pursue and welcome analyses that incorporate social justice, race, ethnicity, and gender and sexuality. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
