Bachelor of Science in Culinary Management

The Bachelor of Science in Culinary Management degree from Baltimore International College is one of the only four-year culinary degrees offered in the United States. This gives you additional experience, education and a competitive edge upon entering into the culinary industry.

During the first two years of the program, each student follows the curriculum for the Associate of Applied Science in either Professional Cooking, Professional Cooking and Baking, or Professional Baking and Pastry, thus choosing a concentration for the remainder of his or her education.

The following two years focus on more advanced techniques, as well as the principles of running a commercial kitchen, including marketing, finance, food production and presentation, and inventory and cost control. The curriculum gives students the opportunity to build leadership, critical thinking and managerial skills to fully prepare them for successful careers as managers and head chefs in commercial foodservices, restaurants, banquet and catering services, schools and hospitals.
