Culinary Arts Management

At CCC, you’ll learn the ins and outs of many different cuisines and styles hands-on in our amazing facilities. Our kitchen is new, beautiful and equipped with everything you’ll come across in a modern restaurant. Our teaching restaurant, Aqua Terra Grill, is an upscale, fine-dining experience lauded by the community. And our takeout counter Pronto is a popular destination for students looking for something tasty on-the-go.

We even cater and host many special events, so that you can get a solid background in that area, too.

These aren’t merely cool experiences to expand your palate—they also broaden your skillset and put you in the running for a lot more jobs.

At CCC, you won’t just become a top-notch chef, line cook, prep cook or steward. You’ll master all the skills you need to be successful in a commercial kitchen, like balancing your budget, planning major events and communicating effectively with your teammates.

Or would you rather be learning in Italy? Each year, a group of our students embark on a study abroad trip, to visit culinary schools and learn from instructors there. Maybe that could be you.
