Our students participate in the production of up to 1,200 meals per day in a la carte, institutional, baking, and dining room labs. We feed 600 campus students and approximately 60 commercial customers daily. Within our building are classrooms for lecture and seminar instruction. Our Top Hat Club is for students who demonstrate excellence in class or lab. This organization administers and participates in a number of special events each semester.
Fund raising activities enhance scholarship awards for our students.
All students are required to have a meal plan, uniforms, knives, and books. Grocery chains and institutional food caterers have informed us that they will hire graduates from our baking program. These programs can reduce the number of courses and associated expenses for those who qualify. A written request must be made in advance to the Culinary Arts Department to begin this process. 20 Visit the course description index for more detailed information on courses offered at Alfred State College.
