Culinary Arts
Specialized classroom and practical laboratory work experiences
in the preparation and cooking of a variety of foods
are included in the Culinary Arts Program. Emphasis is placed
on the use and care of commercial equipment used in food
preparation, sanitation in food handling, cooking and baking
methods, preparation of special dishes, food standards, aspects
of nutrition, and gourmet cooking.
Since this program is designed to prepare the graduate for a
specific profession, certain items that are compiled in a cook/chef
tools and materials list are expected to be purchased by the student in
order to perform routine class and laboratory assignments. The
capstone for the Culinary Arts Certificate is CHEF 1265, Practicum, or CHEF 1281, Cooperative Education.
The capstone for
the Pastry and Baking Certificate is PSTR 1265, Practicum, or PSTR
