Foreign Experience

All students who declare the Dual Major in EcoGastronomy must spend a full semester abroad, most likely during their junior year. The University of Gastronomic Sciences (UNISG) in Pollenzo, Italy, will serve as the site of this foreign experience. Founded by Carlo Petrini, UNISG is a unique university with a mission "...to create an international research and training center, working to renew farming methods, protect biodiversity and maintain an organic relationship between gastronomy and agricultural science." Dual Majors will complete a series of upper level core courses at UNISG, such as history of cuisine and gastronomy, history of food, aesthetics, food law, food technology processes, and Italian language.
