Why Pursue a Bachelors Degree of Baking and Pastry Arts?
In the tight-knit world of pastry chefs, it’s who you know, as much as what you know, that lands you the job. Bachelor’s programs in baking and pastry arts not only provide students with in-depth training in confectioneries, bread, desserts and pastry creation as well as management skills and a liberal arts grounding, but also offer the chance to pursue internships and apprenticeships with top-name chefs. Many programs also offer the opportunity to work a short, unpaid gig at a local restaurant called a ‘stage’, which introduces students to the demands of working in a dining establishment while allowing them to get to know professionals in the field. Relationships and skills cultivated during a program in baking and pastry arts can reward you with job offers and employment opportunities after graduation.
