Program Advantages

We offer a great balance of hands-on learning in addition to classroom study. Learn by doing with our project-based education, especially live restaurant work and volume cooking. The best part is that you have access to 100% full-time faculty with vast industry experience to share.

New for 2025! ASC culinary arts students are cooking up success with a new hands-on learning lab. This fall, Alfred State will take over operations of Alfred's popular local restaurant, The Collegiate. ASC culinary programs will add The Collegiate to all of our culinary labs along with The Refinery for fine dining, The Rig for lunchtime in Wellsville, an outdoor kitchen for wood-fired pizza, and a bakery for delicious sweets. Read more about ASC's plans.

There are several scholarship opportunities available to students entering the culinary arts program. Information can be found on our program-specific scholarship web page.
