食品研究理学硕士课程是一个36个学时的研究生课程，为学生提供食品系统政治经济学（包括食品政策，人权，食品治理和食品正义）的基础。学生们将对食品管理和民间社会主张，贸易和食品援助以及相关公共政策的多尺度，全球本地结构产生深刻的理解，因为它们共同影响着人类健康，营养，经济发展和环境。该计划有目的地向学生介绍以食品研究为导向的研究方法和计划评估，并着重于考虑社会正义，种族，族裔，性别和性别的分析。
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.
