Culinary Arts The Culinary Arts program prepares students to enter the diverse and exciting field of food service. A fieldwork experience requirement obliges the student to have a minimum of 240 hours of paid or unpaid experience in a foodservice establishment, thus giving him or her the practical knowledge necessary to supplement his or her studies. The curriculum for Culinary Arts requires courses in a variety of subject areas as well as at least fifteen Culinary Arts courses. All Culinary Arts students are required to adhere to a dress code and to provide and care for their own uniforms.

Course has a pre- and/or corequisite. See course description for details. A student, based on testing scores, may place out of English Composition I (ENGL 101) and substitute any collegelevel writing course in its place. This is also the case if a student placed into an equivalent to ENGL 102 at another school and was not required to take the ENGL 101 equivalent. Currently there are only three options for replacement: Technical Writing (ENGL 107); Creative Writing (ENGL 119); or Newspaper Journalism (JOUR 120).
