Who is Eligible?
Tufts is among the select few universities in the world to offer this kind of applied, interdisciplinary training for persons seeking careers that deal with hunger, malnutrition, and food policy in industrialized and developing countries. Students come from a variety of backgrounds: from volunteer work in poor village communities, to careers in domestic welfare systems and the national government; others have had no prior hands-on experience, but are committed to the issues addressed by the program. To be eligible, applicants must have completed a minimum of one course in human biology or general chemistry. Prior course work in nutrition and economics is recommended, but not required.
