Bachelor in Culinary Arts

Your culinary journey through this Bachelor program starts with learning the fundamentals; then continues through advanced practice before culminating in two semesters of master classes

In the first semester you will learn fundamental techniques in culinary and pastry arts, working in small classes under the instruction of our highly qualified, expert chef-instructors. You will also learn contemporary cuisine and become immersed in the world of restaurant operations.

Your first professional internship is followed by a semester devoted to advanced practice. Again, in small classes, you will develop your skills in various types of cuisine, including Mediterranean, bistro, gastronomic and healthy & natural.

A second professional internship enables you to test your accumulated skills, before you reach the zenith of the program with two semesters of culinary master classes. These are taught alongside a two-part Innovation Lab that will give you a uniquely strong perspective on future gastronomic trends.

Soft skills and business acumen are equally vital to success in the food service industry. So this Bachelor program includes a complete portfolio of academic courses dedicated to business and management topics.
