Baking and Pastry Arts
Hands-on learning happens in our professional-grade pastry labs. 在这里, students learn the science and craft of producing breads, 糕点, cakes and other items both savory and sweet.
Customers flock to the A.P. Smith’s Bakery, a boutique retail outlet fully operated by the students themselves. The campus community and our neighbors enjoy the results! Baked goods are also served at specific events. Over the course of two years, students will have the opportunity to refine their skills under American Culinary Federation certified faculty members. Students develop techniques while working off-campus with professionals, providing them with paid employment opportunities that support their career goals.
Students who excel in the A.A.S. program will have the opportunity to accelerate their degrees. The college offers an A.O.S. degree program that allows qualified, ambitious students to adjust their curriculum, take more credits per semester, and earn a Baking and Pastry Arts degree in as little as 18 months.
研究生s enter the workforce as journeyman bakers, assistants to pastry chefs, retail bakery 管理 trainees or commercial bakers. This program also prepares entrepreneurs to operate a bakery or café. 研究生s may also choose to pursue a four-year degree in Baking Arts and Service Management.
