Minor in Food Studies

About the Minor

This minor seeks to capture and help students navigate the breadth of course offerings that touch upon food systems. Because food systems can be studied through many different lenses, students can adapt this Food Studies minor to their program of study. For example, students interested in public health policy issues can create a minor of hands-on, community-based culinary classes, public health and nutrition classes. Students are encouraged to work under guidance from hospitality, culinary and food science faculty.

Program Requirements

Writing-Intensive Course Requirements

In order to graduate, all students must pass three writing-intensive courses after their freshman year. Two writing-intensive courses must be in a student's major. The third can be in any discipline. Students are advised to take one writing-intensive class each year, beginning with the sophomore year, and to avoid “clustering” these courses near the end of their matriculation. Transfer students need to meet with an academic advisor to review the number of writing-intensive courses required to graduate.

A "WI" next to a course in this catalog may indicate that this course can fulfill a writing-intensive requirement. For the most up-to-date list of writing-intensive courses being offered, students should check the Writing Intensive Course List at the University Writing Program. Students scheduling their courses can also conduct a search for courses with the attribute "WI" to bring up a list of all writing-intensive courses available that term.
