Food & the Garden is a First-Year Interest Group (FIG) for fall term. FIGs bring groups of 20 first year students together for a unique academic experience. FIG students take three courses together during fall term: two lecture courses and a 1-credit College Connections course which are all connected by an overarching theme. The two lecture courses’ credits count towards a degree, no matter which major is chosen.

Food & the Garden will explore the tradition of garden making and hands-on growing as part of a healthy local food system. For more information on this FIG, visit the first-year programs page.
