Our History

In the spring of 1989, Boston University held the first class in the Certificate Program in the Culinary Arts. Co-founded by Julia Child and Jacques Pépin, this intensive, semester-long program was developed to expose students to classic French techniques and international cuisines. This unique new program merged the best aspects of traditional culinary arts study with the hands-on tutelage of a wide range of chefs—augmented by insight into the food industry as a whole. This model has allowed students to enter a wide variety of jobs related to food.

Today, the Culinary Arts program maintains these core values, while continuously reflecting changes in the preparation and business of food. Students benefit from learning with highly respected professional chefs in our state-of-the-art test kitchen. Find out more about the Certificate Program in Culinary Arts.
