BSc in Food Studies in Syracuse United States | Syracuse University

Falk College's Food Studies program explores the socioeconomic and human rights dimensions of food systems, addressing critical concerns like food security, accessibility, trade policies, ethical considerations, and sustainable agriculture. This distinctive curriculum sets itself apart from conventional Food Studies programs that primarily emphasize culinary traditions and gastronomic practices—the art of choosing, preparing, and enjoying food. At Falk, students engage with these subjects while adopting a comprehensive perspective on food systems, tackling pressing matters such as food equity, metropolitan food networks, global commerce, workforce dynamics in food production, human rights, scientific advancements, technological innovations, culinary arts, and food business administration.

The 120-credit Bachelor of Science in Food Studies combines Falk College's foundational courses with specialized food studies classes, elective options, and a diverse liberal arts curriculum that exposes students to Syracuse University's Arts & Sciences disciplines. The program culminates in a capstone requirement where seniors either undertake an in-depth research initiative or participate in a hands-on practicum experience.
