The Associate of Science Degree in Food and Nutrition (ASFN) provides a broad education in arts and sciences with an emphasis on food, nutrition, and health subject areas. It is designed to meet the requirements of the food and nutrition programs at the different universities across Canada.

The Associate of Science, Food and Nutrition is a common entry for both of Langara's transfer programs to UBC nutrition programs. Students wishing to apply to UBC Dietetics should consider applying to the Food Nutrition and Health Transfer program at the end of first year, according to the requirements listed on that program website.

Transfer to UBC from the Assoc. Science Food and Nutrition Degree will depend on UBC Admissions and each application will be considered upon its merits.

The Associate of Science Degree in Food and Nutrition provides a broad education in arts and sciences with an emphasis on food, nutrition, and health subject areas. Coursework may prepare students to apply to food and nutrition degree programs at other universities across Canada.

The Associate of Science Degree in Food and Nutrition is designed for students who are unable to meet the admission or progression requirements for the Diploma in Arts and Science (Food, Nutrition, and Health Transfer), or those who need time to transition into the heavy workload of these arts and science courses.

The program prepares students to meet course requirements for application to the BSc (Food, Nutrition, and Health) program in the Faculty of Land and Food Systems at UBC, with a second option for transfer into dietetics, if eligible. The dietetics major is a regulated health profession training program with specific applicant selection procedures and a second application to the dietetics major may be made at the same time. Once students have completed 54 credits of their associate degree requirements and the remainder of the courses are in progress, application can be made to the Faculty of Land and Food Systems and must meet specific UBC preprequisite requirements (subject to change). The application to the UBC dietetics major is comprehensive and competitive, in part due to the restricted number of seats available in the degree program each year.
