About Program
The UB Food Studies & Gastronomy Program stems from the belief that food is an excellent vehicle to understand our local Mediterranean culture from a broad range of perspectives.
The element of food, so vital to the everyday life of a place and its people, allows us to explore Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, the Mediterranean and Europe with an experiential, hands-on approach to learning. We approach the subject of food with an emphasis on intercultural communication and critical thinking, but our undergraduate level courses cover a range of topics, making the program suitable for students from a variety of different majors. Some of our course offerings include: Food Systems & Sustainability, Mediterranean Nutrition & Gastronomy, The Business of Food, and Food Through the Ages.
