Connected Degree

Food Science

to Food Nutritional Sciences - Food Science Option

An opportunity to gain an associate degree from Delaware Tech and a bachelor's degree from Delaware State University.

YOUR PATH TO A BACHELOR'S DEGREE

Delaware Tech has established agreements with four-year colleges and universities that connect Delaware Tech associate degree programs with bachelor's degree programs to create smooth transfer opportunities for you. These Connected Degree programs enable you to complete your associate degree and then transfer to a four-year degree program as a junior.

THE CONNECTED DEGREE 2 + 2 CURRICULUM

Delaware Tech's associate degree program in Food Science will provide you with a scientific understanding of the food we eat and how it's made, preserved, processed, packaged, and distributed but most importantly how it is kept safe from foodborne illness and disease. As a food safety technician, you'll have the opportunity to use science to solve real-world problems that not only affect the food industry but all of us. Delaware State University's Bachelor of Science degree program in Food and Nutritional Sciences-Food Science Option prepares students to apply the principles of science and engineering to better understand the complex and heterogeneous compounds in food. The Food Science curriculum meets the required core courses set forth by the Institute of Food Technologists. Food Science applies the knowledge of chemistry, engineering, microbiology, biochemistry, nutrition, and toxicology, to the industrial and practical aspects of food processing, evaluation, and storage of nutritious and safe food products. Opportunities for food scientists include food safety, food quality control, food product development, production management, technical sales and service, ingredient management, research, and teaching.

VALUE FOR YOU

By completing your associate degree at Delaware Tech, you'll receive excellent instruction in small classes at a campus close to home. Delaware Tech's affordable tuition can reduce the overall cost of your college education, making the completion of your bachelor's degree more manageable.

MAKING THE CONNECTION

Refer to the Connected Degree curriculum (on the reverse side of this page) for the sequence of courses needed to complete this program. Call Delaware Tech and let us help you follow the path to your bachelor's degree.
