Overview
The Master of Liberal Arts (MLA) in Gastronomy encompasses the arts,
the humanities, and the natural and social sciences. As the study of
food, food science, and nutrition has grown, a consensus has developed
that the study of food and wine, under the category of gastronomy, requires
a multidisciplinary approach. Our understanding of the role of food
in historical and contemporary societies and its impact on world civilization
is a serious and important pursuit, especially when undertaken within
specific, well-defined fields of study such as culinary history, anthropology,
archaeology, economics, and nutrition. Students are encouraged to take
advantage of the resources and expertise of various Boston University
faculty members and departments, as well as industry professionals.
