• Applicants must present a national certification recognized by the Conference for Food Protection with a test examination date within five years to fulfill graduation requirements. Students who do not have this certification will be required to obtain it to meet graduation requirements.
• Applicants who have received their AS degrees more than ten years ago must also submit a cover letter and resume that demonstrates how they have kept their baking & pastry arts skills or culinary (as applicable) skills and knowledge current during that time. Your application will be reviewed for applicability of current skills and knowledge to the degree program.
