Program Overview

The hospitality & food service industry is one segment of the largest employment field in the world- travel and tourism. Students can prepare for this growing field through MCC’s Baking & Pastry Management program and obtain additional industry certification by completing National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF) classes.

The baking and pastry program provides training that will allow graduates to pursue positions in bakeries, restaurants, hotels, banquet halls and cruise ships. Courses are designed to build on skillsets, culminating in Sweet Scots Bakery, the student-run bakery.
