Henry Ford College (HFC) was established in 1938 as a junior college. It now offers not only occupational and career programs, and traditional transfer programs, but in 2014 began offering its first bachelor degree program in Culinary Arts. HFC also has a University Center program that offers several degrees by partnering with nearby universities. HFC primarily serves Dearborn and Wayne County, with a small percentage of students coming from other areas.
