Culinary Arts

Culinary Arts (CART) offers a wide range of career opportunities for those who enjoy preparing exciting cuisines and have an eye toward business ventures. This comprehensive program prepares students for positions in the rapidly-growing food service industry.

 

The students’ education is enhanced by participating in various catering projects and the operation of our full-service restaurant. These hands-on learning experiences help students refine table service and dining room management techniques. Career opportunities in restaurants, resorts, country clubs, hotels and motels as well as on cruise ships and airlines are abundant. According to the National Restaurant Association the food service industry and career opportunities are experiencing rapid growth in all segments of the industry. They expect to employ 12.5 million persons by the end of this year, 10 percent of the total work force in the U.S.

 

Sanitation is one of the most important areas of concern in the restaurant industry today. In our Culinary Arts program the student can receive their ServSafe Sanitation Certification, a requirement in the food service industry.
