The foodservice management option prepares students for management careers in the hospitality and leisure industry. Graduates work in a variety of settings from restaurants and hotels to convention centers and entertainment venues often managing the foodservice function within another employment sector (such as meeting and event planning for large high tech firms). About 40 percent of our graduates continue pursuing bachelor’s degree. Students in the foodservice track can select courses that make them eligible for ACF chef certification. The program provides several electives, which allows students to customize their degree coursework.

The faculty and staff are committed to providing students with the practical knowledge and experience needed to succeed in their chosen field and to providing the central Massachusetts hospitality industry with the leaders of the future. The program is partnered with the Central Massachusetts Visitor and Convention Bureau and the Worcester Senior Center Campus to provide concurrent hands on experience in addition to the classroom training. Every foodservice management course has an experiential component required for successful completion. The result is that students graduate with a documented portfolio of meaningful managerial experience. This balance of practical and classroom experience creates results-oriented managers.

The hospitality and foodservice program offers block-scheduled courses that meet weekly. This format better accommodates the off campus location and the experiential component of the classes. All students are required to complete four core classes and an industry co-op. Many of the students complete their co-op with the college program at Walt Disney World.
