Santa Fe College- Gainesville

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
For the community college in Santa Fe, New Mexico, see Santa Fe Community College

Santa Fe College is a state college that is part of Florida's system of higher education. Santa Fe is accredited by Florida's Department of Education and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Located in North Central Florida, its main campus is in Gainesville, Florida. More than 50 Technology and Applied Sciences programs are accredited in their respective fields.

History

Santa Fe Community College was established by the Florida Legislature in 1966 in response to a request from the Alachua and Bradford County Boards of Public Instruction, which had canvassed the area and learned that the community would be well served if all citizens have the opportunity for an education. There are programs at Santa Fe that match the interests and meet the needs of almost every student. Most of these programs can be completed in two years. In 2008, Santa Fe College officially changed its name to emphasize the bachelor's degree programs that it will be offering.

Degrees

Best Answer

Santa Fe Community College in Florida, right? My sister went there, and did that program! She loved it, and was very much in demand by zoos when she graduated. You don't need to go to college first. You can go right to Santa Fe, if you take the SAT or ACT first. It's only if you don't take the SAT or ACT that you need college classes first. In fact, I'd strongly suggest you give them a call, so you can discuss what you need to do to get into the zoo program. You do need to apply way far in advance, though, because they only accept about 50 students per term. So apply at least a year in advance. Really. They have that much of a wait list. To apply, you have to apply BOTH to SFCC and to the Zoo Tech program. SFC's application is available on line at www.sfc.edu To get the Zoo animal tech application, you need to ask for it by emailing your full name and mailing address to linda.asbell@sfc.edu You definitely want to volunteer at a zoo this summer. That's a very good idea. Here are details on how to apply to this program: http://inst.sfcc.edu/~zoo/PROGINFO.HTM#app
