Food Studies Minor
The Food Studies minor examines the causes and effects of food production systems and patterns of food consumption by incorporating perspectives from a variety of humanities and social science disciplines. Food systems are inherently value-driven and frequently reflect socio-economic inequities that are of concern to the Sisters of Mercy.
Students completing a minor in Food Studies complete a minimum of 18 credits.
