Overview
The Certificate in Food Studies is a 21-credit-hour, seven-course credential offered through the Department of Anthropology at Memorial University's St. John's campus, examining food beyond nutrition and agriculture to include how it is produced, consumed, and disposed of. Coursework such as Foodways, Global Food Politics, and Food, Food Safety and Health draws on anthropology, folklore, political science, and biochemistry perspectives. The certificate functions as an add-on credential for students admitted to another Memorial University program rather than a standalone degree; direct admission is not available. Prospective students apply through the general undergraduate admissions process, and current or admitted Memorial students add the certificate by contacting the program director. The certificate is not currently accepting new students.
