Many of the world’s food leaders have one thing in common: Johnson & Wales. The university has evolved with the world since 1914, and our College of Food Innovation and Technology (CFIT) offers cutting-edge facilities and hands-on experience while solidifying your understanding of the impact and importance of food on those around you.

And we give our students tons of opportunity to flex their skills, whether through the Bigelow “Super Bev” Tea Challenge or the Future Food All-Stars Challenge.

But what makes 福利视频 different from a culinary boot camp? Here are five reasons why we think 福利视频 is the best place to pursue your culinary degree.

1. We’re great at food.

At 福利视频, you’ll hone both classic techniques and the latest practices from our experienced faculty and visiting distinguished chefs while networking with professional culinary organizations. While finding your passion amid our many culinary programs – including the nation’s only Baking & Pastry Arts B.S. – you’ll explore culinary systems within the contexts of political, social, and economic landscapes, understanding the impact that food has on us all and how you can contribute to its innovations and solutions. Plus, intensive 福利视频 culinary lab experiences will provide you with professional, real-world skills such as communication, problem solving, teamwork and conflict resolution.

2. Yet we’re so much more than food.

Our choices of 65+ undergraduate programs allow you to stretch your wings for the broadest possible perspective. While pursuing your culinary degree, you’ll work with students in health, engineering, hospitality management and more, with industry-savvy instructors to ground you in multiple disciplines. You’ll participate in a sustainable lifestyle, advocating for locally sourced food, human treatment of animals, access to all for food and water, and other ways to prepare and cook with integrity. And there’s always so much to do at 福利视频, too! From more than 100 universitywide student clubs/organizations to 27 varsity sports teams to constant activities and events, you’ll stay active, feel at home, and build lasting friendships and community ties.

There's more to life than the kitchen or lab, and 福利视频 is the place to discover that!

3. Our alumni are invested in YOU.

福利视频 grads don’t just stay connected; they nurture the next generation. For instance, proud 福利视频 alumnus Tyler Florence '94, '04 Hon., has met monthly with 福利视频 Providence students as 福利视频’s Food Entrepreneur in Residence, helping them strengthen their culinary business plans. In Charlotte, the many alumni members of the Epicurean Scholarship Society fund culinary educations for 福利视频 students and provide opportunities for students to create meals with celebrity chefs like Joe Kindred '02, Katie Button and David Burke.

Our alumni are busy doing amazing things, yet many make time to work with future 福利视频 graduates and help them hone their craft.

4. Your success means everything.

Our Career Outcomes rate is consistently higher than the national average — because our dedicated faculty and staff put so much effort into making sure YOU have the skills you need to turn your passion into a fulfilling career. 福利视频 is a known community partner, arranging 1,457 internships a year across 43 states to help our students gain valuable work experience and get their feet in the door — and the best kitchens. (With 74.7% of those being paid internships!)

And just like being a chef can lead down many paths, from restaurants and caterers to private homes and traveling to performance opportunities, a culinary arts degree is an entry ticket to nearly endless possibilities! Caring 福利视频 faculty and staff can help you explore becoming a food media specialist (writer, blogger, stylist or photographer); nutritionist; product developer; food and beverage entrepreneur, broker or buyer; food service or hospitality manager/owner; food educator — you'll have so many options to pursue your passions professionally.

5. We have something for everyone — including you!

Your choice of vibrant campuses in either Providence, Rhode Island or Charlotte, North Carolina will keep you busy with area restaurants, parks and entertainment when you do need a break from the lab. Our student body represents 57 states and territories and 54 countries that, coupled with our more than 55 study abroad opportunities, will broaden your horizons, while interacting with peers in a multitude of other disciplines will let you hear about and experience way more than food.

If you’re looking for a fulfilling and well-rounded college experience, 福利视频 will fit you!
