Accelerated Programs: If you've already got experience on your side, J&W can offer you a faster route to your career goals. Our Advanced Standing program allows you to complete work for an associate degree in Culinary Arts in less than one calendar year and a bachelor's degree in less than three. You pay one-third the amount of regular tuition during the summer term and have an opportunity to enter the job market before others in traditional two and four year programs. This program begins in June. For those who hold a bachelor's degree and want to pursue a career in foodservice, the Garnish Your Degree program is an accelerated, one-calendar-year program where students earn an AS degree in Culinary Arts. All students start the program together and take classes together as one cohesive group. Non-traditional students who are looking for a career change typically enroll in this program.
