Urgent message:

Due to the ongoing economic crisis, SRJC has had to reduce the number of classes being offered for the Spring 2010 semester. For the Culinary Arts Department, these cuts have dramatically reduced the number of Ethnic and Specialty classes and have caused the cancellation of the following Restaurant Management Certificate classes:

CUL 256.10 Restaurant Operations
CUL 256.8 Beverage Management
CUL 256.9 Intro to Restaurant Wine

In the event that the economic situation improves, there may be classes added back into the schedule.
Be sure to check the online schedule on a regular basis to see if these classes have been reinstated.

Santa Rosa Junior College’s Culinary Arts provides an intensive course of study leading to certificates of completion in several exciting areas. Rigorous and comprehensive, these programs prepare students for entry into the professional food industry. The curriculum integrates classical and modern culinary techniques with strong kitchen management skills. Classes are scheduled in 8-week blocks, allowing more frequent entry into the program. Many of the Culinary Arts faculty are professional chefs with extensive backgrounds in the food business. Several are graduates of professional culinary academies.

Introductory Culinary Arts courses are held at Garcia Hall on the Santa Rosa campus, while production courses are offered at the SRJC Culinary Arts Center, 458 B Street in downtown Santa Rosa. This 5,500 square foot facility is also the location of the SRJC Culinary Café and Bakery where students receive practical, hands-on experience working in a commercial kitchen, retail bakery, and restaurant open to the public.
