In Laurel’s Culinary Arts 16-month immersive degree program, you will develop a strong foundation in the art of cooking through theory, technique, and palate training. Our Chef instructors will help train your senses, guiding you through an incredible range of tastes and flavors, from herbs and condiments to vegetables and meats.
At Laurel, you’ll also spend a semester, growing and harvesting food in our on-campus garden, serving in our School Restaurant ‘Gigi’s Table’ and work to create community events that celebrate and engage local farmers and producers. You will also gain practical experience with these skills through on-the-job training in three separate internship rotations at some of our region’s leading culinary providers.
