Culinary Arts Schools - Masters Degree Program

If you are a really serious student of the culinary arts field, you may want to attend a culinary arts school masters degree program.

It is a bit more difficult to find a culinary arts school that offers a Master's Degree program because typically, two and four year degrees are satisfactory for all that is necessary to be successful. However, it will take you another two years to enhance your education and become more of an expert in baking, restaurant management, cooking, pastries, etc.

A Master Chef is different from earning a Master's Degree. Many who pursue a Masters are looking more for courses in food studies, the culinary arts, food science, food chemistry, nutrition, etc. One of the few schools on the East Coast that offers a Masters program is NYU in New York. There are other schools in Canada and Australia, but it will take some real digging to find very many in the USA offering a masters degree in culinary arts.

Some individuals just like going to culinary school. They know they will acquire more indepth skills and perhaps at some point, desire to teach these skills to others.

Make sure the culinary arts school you decide to attend has a placement assistance program. For all of the money you are going to be paying for a masters education, you should have some cooperation in getting placed once you graduate.
