Introduction
The FSSP is a semester-long, interdisciplinary certificate program open to all students with an interest in food, sustainability and the environment. It is particularly well-suited to those hoping to cultivate a career in the food or environmental industries or seeking to continue their education at the graduate level. There are three tracks: Food Studies, Environmental Studies & Sustainability, and the dual track. For each track, students take an Italian class, the 1-credit core course, and then choose three or four other FSSP courses.
Each thematic course includes a series of co- and extra-curricular activities that are an integral part of the curriculum; they include guest lectures, site visits, field trips, culinary activities, research projects, and other hands-on experiences. These activities allow students to directly observe the concepts studied in the classroom and analyze issues surrounding food, sustainability and the environment in an Italian and global context from varied perspectives.
