Culinary Arts
The Associate in Applied Science degree in Culinary Arts
prepares students for careers in a variety of settings,
including restaurants, institutional cafeterias, resorts,
and catering businesses. The curriculum focuses on the fundamentals
of culinary science, sanitation, and nutrition. During the
first year of study, students learn the basics of food preparation,
including cooking and baking techniques, preparation of
stocks, soups, and sauces, and the art of garde manger.
During the second year, students study international and
classical cooking and baking techniques and styles, as well
as advanced garde manger. Culinary courses are held in fully
equipped teaching kitchens, where students gain hands-on
experience. An internship taken between their first and
second years offers students the opportunity to develop
their skills in a professional work environment. Graduates
may continue at Newbury College for a Bachelor of Science
degree in Hotel, Restaurant, and Service Management, with
a concentration in Culinary Management.
Note that all full-time day students are required to
take FY100 First Year Seminar during their first semester.
