One-Year Certificate: Culinary Arts

The 1-Year Certificate in Culinary Arts program at Study Abroad in Europe consists of two semesters, each offering a set of six core classes, creating a solid theoretical base and integrated by extensive hands-on supervised lab and intensive weekend seminars that offer the students unique opportunities to meet and interact with professionals and signature chefs. Students will gain a solid foundation of Italian cuisine covering all aspects of professional culinary arts with an emphasis on Italian products, traditions, and regionality. The goal of the Culinary Arts Certificate is to impart Italian taste, refinement, and the origins of a cuisine with ancient and multicultural roots. The tenets of professional cooking in the restaurant sector are taught as the basis from which students will learn about Italian regional cuisine, wines, and Italian baking and pastry techniques. The second semester offers courses focusing on creative approaches to Italian cuisine and the principles of restaurant management.
