: I am looking to possibly change careers. I am 30, have a BBA in Management/Computer Information Systems and some graduate work. I worked previously in the food service industry in college and now work in the software industry in marketing and management. Because I already have a 4+ year degree and significant business experience, what program should I consider? 2 or 4 year? I need to go to school in Houston so I can continue to work days. Does anyone know anything about the Art Institute's Culinary Arts Program? Your help is much appreciated.
Shelley,
I don't have much info on the Art Institute in Houston, but I do know that it is accredited by the ACFEI - the American Culinary Federations Educational Institute. According to the ACF's listing of accredited schools, such accreditation "...requires that curriculum, faculty, resources, support staff, and organizational structure all substantially meet the standards set by the Accrediting Commission. These standards were set by industry leaders in both the culinary art and culinary arts education."
By the way, I am an accountant...soon to be a cook. I attend culinary school in the Washington D.C. - area.
