51³Ô¹Ï

A culinary college degree is within your reach. At the 51³Ô¹Ï, students in a growing number of states can earn a full Associate of Occupational Studies degree from the convenience of their own kitchen, along with an in-person externship in a professional food service environment. This 60 credit hour program explores culinary theory, science, technique and palate development along with an in-depth business education. The hands-on industry externship at the end of the program allows you to enhance your skills and gain practical cooking and baking experience in the hospitality industry.

There’s no need to put your life on hold to pursue your culinary passion. If you’re unable to relocate or attend in-person classes at an ICE campus in New York or Los Angeles, you can still earn an Associate of Occupational Studies degree in Culinary Arts & Food Operations through online instruction. Our online culinary associate degree program features a customized curriculum full of culinary arts and business management courses led by experienced chefs and management instructors.

*The externship portion of this program must be completed in person.
