Program Description

The Associate in Applied Science in Culinary Arts provides the student with a hands-on approach to develop the skills, techniques, and knowledge needed to become a successful professional in the food service industry. Partnerships with local hotels and restaurants (i.e. The Cliff House) are used to strengthen the academic and learning environment through sponsored events and site visitations. Students will be given a foundation of skills needed to pursue careers as kitchen managers, dining room managers, banquet managers, purchasing agents, and restaurant/ food service managers. Related instruction provides training in customer/employee relations, food service sanitation, management techniques, inventory control, menu planning, and operational cost control. York County Community College has an affiliation with the Maine Innkeepers Association (MIA), the Maine Restaurant Association (MRA), the Council on Hotel- Restaurant Institutional Education (CHRIE), and the American Culinary Federation (ACF), which enhances the quality of the Culinary Arts Program and provides additional opportunities to students.
