Great Lakes Culinary Institute
|
The Culinary Arts program is designed to provide rigorous and concentrated study for those students who plan careers in the rapidly growing food service industry. The program's main emphasis is to prepare students for entry-level chefs and kitchen management positions. Consideration is given to the science and techniques associated with the selection, preparation and serving of foods to large and small groups. In January of 2004, the Great Lakes Culinary Institute moved to a beautiful new facility on the waterfront in Traverse City--with four kitchens and a restaurant laboratory. In addition to classroom study, the culinary students develop their knowledge of food and guest service at area hotels and resorts. 
The Culinary Arts Program is accredited by the American Culinary Federation Education Institute Accrediting Commission. Culinary Arts students wishing to pursue a baccalaureate degree may transfer to a number of institutions with which NMC has transfer agreements. Students may elect to stay in Traverse City and transfer to the University Center. Director: Fred Laughlin |
