    Online Master Programs in Culinary Arts

    Students who have completed a baccalaureate and have the desire to continue learning in their field, may want to consider a master’s degree. This two to three-year program provides an in-depth exploration of a group of subjects in a specific area of study or expertise.

    What is a Master in Culinary Arts? Students who are passionate about the art and science of food and who want a career in food preparation and service may be good candidates for this degree. The curriculum balances practice with theory. Courses might take place in the classroom, in the kitchen and in the field. Students tend to study topics ranging from the chemistry, science and technology of food to pastry preparation and wine and beverage management. Programs are generally available in the culinary capitals of the world, including cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Paris and Barcelona.

    This degree builds the skills necessary to manage the challenging environment of a hotel or restaurant kitchen. Students should learn how to be leaders, team players and decision-makers. They should also develop an appreciation for wine and food culture around the globe. Food service management is great preparation for any fast-paced, employment that calls for a high level of organizational ability.

    The cost and duration of these programs vary significantly depending on location. Most involve externships at local restaurants.

    At the master’s level, students may receive training both in cuisine and business that prepares them to assume executive positions in the restaurant, catering and the hospitality industries. The restaurant business is traditionally learned from the ground up. Graduates might begin their careers as line cooks and move through the kitchen ranks to eventually become executive chefs. For those more interested in business than in hands-on cooking, restaurant management and ownership are options. Artistic and creative types might consider food styling, photography or journalism.
