MAJOR

Restaurant and Culinary Management

Major

Overview

Parents do it all the time: they plan meals, shop for food, balance a budget, and even make sure their “customers” are happy. Multiply that many times, and you’ll have a small taste of what it’s like to be a restaurant and culinary management major.

In this program, you’ll find out just what it takes to run a food-service business, from calculating the produce order each week to hiring and supervising a staff. But don’t get the idea that managing a restaurant is all about barking orders. There will be times when you jump into the kitchen like everybody else, because this business is all about the eats.
