Baking and Pastry Arts Degrees and Certificates

Students and wedding cake

The New England Culinary Institute student studying Baking and Pastry Arts is as much artist as technician.

You will learn to create pastry specialties that can be appreciated by the most discriminating consumer. But you will not be in class in just any kitchen; you will be learning and preparing award-winning breads, sumptuous desserts and other baked goods in our retail outlets from the very first day of class. At NECI you will be in class alongside Chef Instructors; with this kind of individualized attention, you will develop the foundation skills necessary to perform effectively in most any food service operation.

Schedule a tour today at our beautiful Montpelier campus and talk to instructors and current students.

"I meet and work with a lot of great people, but there's something different about graduates from New England Culinary Institute. It's their work ethic and attention to detail. You just don't find it everywhere."

-Duff Goldman, host of the Food Network's Ace of Cakes.

There is more information here about our graduation rates, the median debt of students who have completed our programs, and other important information.

Testimonials

I always knew that fresh tastes best, and through my experience at NECI, that belief became solidified. I helped build one of the first kitchen gardens at the school and became absolutely convinced that the closer food is grown to my kitchen door, the better it will taste.

Kurt Michael Friese, AOS Culinary Arts, 1992
