Presented by the world leader in culinary education, the BBA Food Business Management (Baking and Pastry Arts) programme will provide students with an in-depth understanding of the baking and pastry world and valuable hands-on bakeshop experience.
Expert pastry chefs and instructors will help undergraduates learn baking and cooking methods, gain leadership skills and acquire valuable knowledge about the business that is relevant to a wide variety of food careers. Offering the same proven curriculum the college delivers at its United States campuses, the programme builds students’ understanding and command of bread, cake, and pastry production; business skills; and the catering industry. Covering advanced areas such as revenue management and marketing for catering and hospitality businesses, students will be well-prepared to become valued, forward-thinking professionals wherever they go in the food world.
Overseas Immersion Programme
All students will have to complete a three-week immersion programme that comprises a unique and enriching travel experience across Northern California. The Food, Wine and (Agri)culture Trip begins at the home campus of the CIA in Greystone at St Helena, California. From there, students embark on a road trip through the Napa Valley, with stop-overs and visits to wineries and vineyards, food processing plants, speciality restaurants and a broad variety of food-related businesses to deepen the students’ knowledge in the culinary culture of America.
The estimated cost of this overseas immersion programme ranges from S$8,500 - S$10,500.
