Food Systems | Master’s Degree
University of Vermont
Applicants should have completed a college-level statistics course.
Description
Food Systems M.S. graduates gain a broad and deep understanding of contemporary food systems, as well as a set of applied skills and experience – preparing them to succeed.
Most students complete required coursework and spend one semester designing and researching a final project. However, upon request of a Food Systems faculty member, a student can design and complete a year-long thesis research project.
The Food Systems Graduate Program is transdisciplinary and involves an understanding of social, physical, and life science concepts related to food from production through consumption. Therefore, students from all academic backgrounds are welcome to apply.
