Cornell
Hotel School, The Culinary
Institute of America Create Dual
Degree Program
Ithaca, N.Y.,
January 9, 2006 - The Cornell
University School of Hotel
Administration and The Culinary
Institute of America (CIA) have
created a dual degree program for
students seeking a preeminent
education in hospitality
management and the culinary arts.
Students who complete this
intensive program will earn a
Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree
in Hotel Administration and an
Associate in Occupational Studies
(A.O.S.) degree in Culinary
Arts.
"We are
pleased to partner with the
Cornell Hotel School to create a
unique program serving students
who have a passion for
foodservice and hospitality
operations," says Kathy Merget,
dean of Liberal Arts &
Management Studies at the CIA in
Hyde Park, N.Y. "Under this
collaboration, students will
learn from two colleges that are
established global leaders in
hospitality and culinary
education."
In this
intensive program, students who
earn their A.O.S. at the CIA now
have the opportunity to complete
their B.S. at the Cornell Hotel
School in six semesters. Students
at the Cornell Hotel School can
earn both their B.S. and complete
the requirements for an A.O.S.
from the CIA during the course of
their four-year program at
Cornell.
Students
graduating from this program will
have added depth to their
culinary knowledge and skills,
and a broader perspective about
the operations and impact of
foodservice across the
hospitality spectrum. At the
Cornell Hotel School, students
will learn restaurant design,
development and management, and
study foodservice in hotels,
resorts, spas, stadiums,
institutions and other
hospitality settings. At The
Culinary Institute of America,
students will gain the culinary
knowledge, techniques and skills
used by leading restaurants,
hotels and resorts
worldwide.
The dual
degree program is part of a
broader alliance the two colleges
formed in 2003. The alliance aims
to enhance the educational
experience for students and to
serve the hospitality industry
through education, research and
professional skills development.
The dual degree program will
launch in May 2006.
"The Cornell
Hotel School looks forward to
working with our colleagues at
The Culinary Institute of America
to deliver a program that gives
students a distinctive education
that reflects the best of both
institutions," says Leo Renaghan,
associate dean for Academic
Affairs at Cornell University.
"This is exactly the kind of
innovative educational offering
that we envisioned upon forming
this alliance."
