Culinary Essentials Certificate
The Culinary Essentials Certificate (CEC) is a two semester (23-credit hour) undergraduate certificate program that prepares students to enter the culinary workforce in settings such as restaurants, country clubs, resorts, hotels and many other food service opportunities. Students learn culinary arts fundamentals—cooking methods, flavor development, fabrication techniques, world cuisines, baking and pastry, sanitation and safety, nutritional analysis and culinary math. Students work in a hands-on and immersive environment since two-thirds of the CEC Program is the practical application of knowledge and skills gained. The CEC Program requires a 240-hour internship to further bridge classroom learning with practical applications in the culinary field.
