Culinary Arts Program

CVCC is happy to announce two new programs beginning this fall. We will be offering an Associate in Applied Science Degree in Culinary Arts and Management and a Certificate in Culinary Arts.

The Associate in Applied Science degree in Culinary Arts and Management is a two year program designed to prepare individuals for careers in culinary arts, food service management and related occupations. Admission is competitive and based on grades, performance on the College’s placement test, interviews and a demonstrated interest in pursuing a career in Culinary Arts and Management. The deadline to apply to the program is May 14, 2010.

If you are interested in pursuing this degree please complete the following steps:
1. Apply to CVCC by visiting our website www.cvcc.vccs.edu
2. Submit high school and official college transcripts. If you have not taken college level math or English, you will need to take our placement test. The placement test is available Monday-Thursday from 8-5 and Friday 8-3 and is given on a walk-in basis. The placement test is a computer based test, the full test (math and English) costs seven dollars. The test is untimed and usually takes students two hours to complete.
3. After you have completed these steps you will need to schedule an appointment with a counselor so you can submit an application to the program. Please contact the counseling office at 832-7800 to set up an appointment.


The Certificate program in Culinary Arts is a two year part time program designed to provide a foundation in food production in the culinary arts field. Students interested in this certificate need to apply to CVCC and take the English placement test.
