Be a catalyst to solve food concerns in your community
Knowledge and skills in sustainable food systems and community development are increasingly essential to solving the health and nutrition problems in our populations. Professionals entering this field must be skilled in examining the food system, program planning and evaluation, community development and leadership, and grant writing.
Schedule of Course Offerings
Students must complete 30 credits: 24 core credits are required; the remaining 6 elective credits are chosen by the student to provide an area of specialization that meets their unique career goals. Elective courses can be taken at UWSP or transferred in from another institution.
Below is a list of required courses in the terms they are offered in the most intensive timeline possible. Most students complete the program in 2-3 years and enroll in 3-6 credits per term. Depending on your situation, you may choose to enroll in fewer or more than this. Consultation with your adviser will allow you to determine what course load and progression is best for you. Students may start in spring or fall, can stop out for personal or professional reasons, and have up to 7 years to complete all requirements.
