Proposal | Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) | Culinary Arts | | 1/14/2021 | | | | Culinary Arts Program Description | | This application is for the purpose of creating a standalone Culinary Arts AAS degree program at Wor-Wic Community College. Wor-Wic Community College has offered a Culinary Arts concentration to the Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Management (HMR) AAS am for the past 12 years which has been successful. The existing program has served Wor-Wic Community College's tri-county service area on Maryland's lower Eastern Shore well over the years, but it has been recognized that as a concentration the HMR AAS program has limitations and restrictions preventing the growth which will be necessary in order to meet the current and future needs of students and businesses in the college's service area. <br>The new degree provides an expanded opportunity for culinary experiences and course options for personalizing the area of study. The Culinary Arts AAS program will offer students the high-quality culinary education and culinary skills needed to gain entry-level positions in the competitive culinary industry serving Maryland's lower eastern shore and seasonal tourism of Maryland's coastal region. |
