Explore Food at UW

If you’re still exploring options, a great place to start is by taking our introductory course NUTR 200 Nutrition for Today. This course offers a high-level introduction that examines the role of nutrition in health, wellness, and prevention of chronic disease.

You can also explore food through other academic departments, student organizations, and volunteer opportunities:

• The departments of Anthropology, Geography, and Political Science offer courses focused on food concepts as part of their curriculum.
• The Public Health–Global Health Major: Nutritional Sciences Option offers an organized pathway of courses that will prepare you, in part, for graduate studies in nutrition, dietetics, and other health professions.
• The Environmental Studies Major offers an understanding of how humans interact with and influence the environment.
• There are several food-related Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) that you may join, including the ASUW Student Food Co-op and The Dirty Dozen student farm club.
• Become a volunteer at UW Farm or the UW Food Pantry.
