Students enrolled in our Associate of Occupational Studies in Culinary Arts degree program begin working and learning in one of our celebrated school-owned restaurants from the very first day of class. Our student/teacher ratio of 10:1 is the lowest in the nation and it translates to more individual attention and more time to create your own unique culinary style. The Associate of Occupational Studies degree program is also the perfect springboard for further education in either our Bachelors of Culinary Arts programs or Hospitality and Restaurant Management programs. NECI’s combination of hands-on learning and academics will give you the edge you need to stand out in the demanding world of culinary arts.
