Spring 2023 food-related courses

All of these classes have been pre-approved for the Food Systems & Nutrition minor and the Food Systems, Nutrition and Environment track of the Environmental Studies major or co-major. You may also petition to count other courses, including those from study abroad (limit of one for the minor, two overall for the major/co-major) and classes where you are able to add substantial food-related content through assignments or other customization.
