The Baking Arts Certificate prepares students for entry-level work opportunities in the foodservice industry. The certificate program is designed for students who are already working or want to enter the workforce as soon as possible. The program requirements allow students to graduate faster than those pursuing the A.A.S. degree. The certificate program is also a great transition into upper-level course work in the Culinary Arts A.A.S. program. Required course topics include European Pastries, Specialty Breads, Cake Decorating and more. Students are taught by experienced instructors who utilize chef demonstrations and hands-on experiences in state-of-the-art culinary laboratories.

The Culinary Arts Program is accredited by the American Culinary Federation Education Foundation Accrediting Commission (ACFEFAC).
