This associate degree at McHenry County College introduces students to hospitality and the many kinds of food service workplaces. It prepares graduates for starting positions in restaurants, kitchens and related settings across the region.
Coursework covers hospitality fundamentals, safety and sanitation, culinary skills and baking and pastry, all aligned with industry standards. Students gain practical experience through a student-run bakery that operates in the fall and a student-run restaurant that operates in the spring.
The degree sits at the top of a stack of certificates, starting with Chef's Assistant I and continuing through Chef's Assistant II, Beverage Management and Assistant Restaurant Manager. Lab students must buy an approved uniform, hat and tool kit from the campus store. The sample plan lays out the required classes semester by semester, and the contact line for the culinary division is listed for questions. Because course fees cover only the cost of food, students should plan separately for their supplies.
