Culinary Arts - Certificate of Specialization
The Certificate of Specialization in Culinary Arts Program is designed to prepare students for entry-level work in the foodservice industry. It is also a great transition into upper-level coursework, particularly the Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) in Culinary Arts degree program. The certificate program is a good fit for those seeking to graduate as soon as possible or those who are already working in the field. Our instructors combine theory and classroom learning with kitchen demonstrations and hands-on practice. Program courses include Food Preparation and Theory, Meat Fabrication, Safety and Sanitation, and more. Graduates find work at restaurants, nutrition centers, catering companies and other foodservice organizations.
The Culinary Arts Program is accredited by the American Culinary Federation Education Foundation Accrediting Commission (ACFEFAC).
