Hunger Studies Minor
The Hunger Studies minor emphasizes causes, consequences and responses to hunger all while encouraging students from all disciplines to mobilize and act to solve hunger. Students will examine hunger as a complex issue of sustainable human development. Courses in the minor help students develop a skill set for global citizenship that includes opportunities for advocacy, research, community involvement, leadership, and critical problem solving. Students representing every discipline—from agriculture to marketing, from engineering to design—are welcome to apply their major studies in these cross-disciplinary classes that interactively study and discuss how to solve hunger.
