well as evaluate program outcomes.
Accreditation
Our program has earned accreditation from the
American Culinary Federation Education Foundation

administration, faculty/staff, curriculum, facilities, and
program assessment. Graduates with an AA degree
may apply for the first level of industry certification
with the ACF. Students enjoy networking benefits that

The new Culinary Arts building was completed in 2021
and has earned LEED Gold Certification for its energy
and resource efficiency. Our lab classrooms include 4
kitchens and 3 bakeries, all equipped with
commercial-grade tools and appliances. The building
also features a raised-bed herb garden where students
grow ingredients to be used in the classroom.
Dining Services
A unique aspect of our program is immersive, hands-
on practice in food production and service to the
public. This gives our students real-world experience
in restaurants, bakeries, and other hospitality roles.
We serve the campus and beyond in our Bakery Cafe,
