Transfer bridge program to SDSU and future opportunities for international field studies
These opportunities are provided as part of a new interdisciplinary educational project focused on the significance of indigenous and immigrant food and agriculture practices on both sides of the US-Mexico border and their potential to build more equitable and sustainable food systems.
The primary goal is to attract and support undergraduate and graduate students from underrepresented groups to prepare them for careers related to the food, agriculture, and natural resources systems and sciences.
