We offer a 60 credit Associates of Science in Hospitality Management and in Culinary

general business management courses.
Specialized hospitality courses include Food and Beverage Management, Hospitality Management, Travel Services Management and Convention and Event Planning. Courses are offered on both the Lowell and Bedford campuses, as well as online.

These specialized courses include Culinary Theory, Culinary Skills, Bakery and Pastry Skills and Sanitation / Serv Safe Training.
