What is Food Science?
Food science utilizes biological science and chemistry to understand the process behind cultivation and production of food.
Scientists in the field study processes to increase yield as well as food safety standards in accordance with government mandates and requirements.
The Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree is a two-year liberal arts degree designed for the student who intends to transfer into a bachelor's degree program. You do not earn an A.A. in a specific major; however, you do have the opportunity to track toward a specific major at a university by choosing a related advisement track at Santa Fe College. If you don’t see a track geared toward your intended transfer major, you may choose General Studies and speak with your academic advisor.
