Bucks County Community College (BCCC), which has been launching careers for more than 60 years, invites prospective students to a Culinary Arts Open House in Founders Hall on the Newtown Campus.
Tour state-of-the-art culinary facilities, watch cooking demonstrations, sample foods prepared by culinary students, and meet chef instructors from from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 29.
Attendees will learn about associate degrees and certificates in the Culinary Arts and Baking and Pastry Arts programs. Each program of study prepares graduates for various culinary positions in restaurants, bakeries, catering, institutional food service, the hospitality industry, and more.
Professor and chef John Angeline, coordinator of the culinary and hospitality programs in the College’s School of Business, Innovation and Legal Studies, says the industry’s job outlook is strong.

“Employment in the culinary industry is projected to grow about 7–to-8 percent through 2033 – faster than the average for all occupations — as the restaurant sector continues to expand and add hundreds of thousands of new jobs nationwide,” said Angeline.
What’s more, Bucks County Community College’s culinary programs help students get immediate experience, Angeline noted.
“Our programs stand out for their immersive, hands-on learning experiences, mentorship from industry professionals, and strong career connections that prepare students for success from day one,” Angeline added.
During the open house, attendees can also tour the state-of-the-art culinary facilities, meet chef-instructors as they hold demonstrations in the kitchen, sample cuisine prepared by Bucks culinary arts students, and talk to current culinary students and alumni. Representatives from the admissions office will also be on hand to provide information about how to apply.
