Joint Hotel-CIA Degree

Saturday January 21, 2006 Category: Academics Permanent Link

The Hotel School has announced a new joint-degree program for all those who are fascinated by the Food Network. Students will soon be able to pursue a course of study at both the School of Hotel Administration and the renowned Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York (just north of Poughkeepsie on the Hudson River).

This seems like an important new offering for both schools. According to the news release:

At the Hotel School, students will spend most of the academic year taking such hospitality-oriented core courses as human resource management and organizational behavior as well as learning restaurant design, development and management and studying food service in hotels, resorts, spas, stadiums, institutions and other settings.

At the CIA, students will gain the culinary knowledge, techniques and skills used by leading restaurants, hotels and resorts worldwide, through such courses as Cuisines of Europe and the Mediterranean, taken in three-week blocks over the course of the calendar year, including summers and winter intersessions.
