Culinary Arts

Intro Dot OUR CULINARY STUDENTS ARE IN THE KITCHEN every single day developing the essential "real world" skills and proper technique that will lead to a successful career. From the basics of identifying products, determining flavor profiles and developing knife skills, to practicing the professional cooking methodology for seafood, meats, starches, vegetables and sauces, the culinary arts program is designed to teach students how cooking works. As the program progresses, we turn up the heat and the curriculum moves into the nuance of spice, advanced sauces, wild game, world cuisine and culinary artistry, all punctuated by a month spent on the front line of our restaurant in preparation for your externship and career.

Oregon Culinary Institute offers an AAS Degree in Culinary Management, and a Diploma in Culinary Arts. For Vocational Objectives, Program Outlines, and Course Descriptions, click here. Go to Culinary Arts Info
