Program Description
The Culinary Arts & Hospitality Management curriculum leads to successful careers throughout the diverse and exciting Hospitality Industry. Graduates of the program are prepared for employment in middle management positions such as assistants to: managers, supervisors of food production and service, event planners, caterers, stewards, banquet managers, rooms division managers, operations managers, purchasing agents, chefs, pastry chefs or bakers. With additional education and/or experience, upward mobility is unlimited.
Course work includes culinary arts, hospitality business management, approved work experience, and a basic liberal arts core, the foundation of all programs. Because of this liberal arts foundation, Culinary Arts & Hospitality Management curriculum graduates are able to transfer to four-year colleges. Many students elect to enter directly into the workforce where they find ever-expanding employment opportunities.
Westchester Community College provides professional certification through the ManageFirst Program of the National Restaurant Association including ServSafe Sanitation and ServSafe Alcohol.
