Bachelor of Science in Culinology®

The Bachelor of Science in Culinology® is a degree that is only available to transfer students that have culinary training at an accredited institution of higher learning. The degree is based on an assumption that individuals will apply to the program with training in culinary arts that will include sanitation, meat identification/fabrication, soup and sauces fundamentals, baking fundamentals, food service costing, and an externship with a minimum of 12 credit hours effort. Students applying to this program are evaluated on an individual basis for the application of their culinary credits. It is also expected that General Education credits may be earned while completing culinary training and are also eligible for transfer credit following the individualized evaluation. The total transfer credits may not exceed 60 hours.
