The program curriculum covers all aspects of basic food preparation including meats, poultry, fish, vegetable, sauces, soups, bread and pastry baking, desserts, specialty cooking and many other areas such as culinary math. Students may also participate in annual European study tours to Austria and Italy as program electives.

Related instruction gives emphasis to management techniques, including inventory control, culinary mathematics, personnel and business management, bookkeeping, accounting and menu planning, and a 400 hour externship. General education rounds out training with coursework in English, math, and social science. A 400-hour externship rounds out the program.
