| Project Description: |
| The Advanced Standing Program is a twelve month program that prepares students in pursuit of an Associate's Degree and offers the Culinary Education and Training for At-Risk Youths (CETARY)program. Rather than the usual 18-month period to receive an Associate's Degree, the twenty-six degree transfer credits are achieved in only twelve months, with the CETARY program as its basis. The program, which started in 1998 as a pilot project with the United States Department of Justice, is a nine-month hands-on culinary arts education and training program designed to offer youth, who have been determined to be at-risk, a useful skill development and new opportunities for positive personal/professional growth. The University has enjoyed great success with this program (there is a 98% job placement rate) and its reach is felt statewide. |
