Food brings people together, worldwide, and encompasses many essential professional fields beyond food preparation and service, including food marketing, recipe development, food policy, academia, and the media. As a culinary melting pot, Boston has long been home to world-class cuisines and innovative food and restaurant culture. BU MET has helped the city take a leadership position in this vital cultural space, both by being among the first in the nation to offer a master\u2019s degree in gastronomy, and through commitments to the service industry via applied professional certifications in everything from food safety to wine studies.<\/p>\n<p>The gastronomy program at BU MET is among the few in the country, and its blend of cross-pollenated academic perspectives helps develop a comprehensive understanding of society and food throughout history, honing your command of food scholarship. Our 16-unit graduate certificate program in food studies, available online as well as on-campus, fosters expertise in the culture and science of food, making it a substantial credential that can also serve as an appetizer to an eventual pursuit of the master\u2019s degree in gastronomy. We also offer a 16-unit graduate certificate in wine studies on campus, which blends academic study with practical experience to provide a global, in-depth education in the culture, science, and business of wine.<\/p>\n<p>BU also offers a variety of non-unit, hands-on food and wine programs to pique food professionals and aspiring artisans alike, ranging from culinary arts and pastry arts to cheese studies and courses in wine studies\u2014all taught by worldwide masters of their craft. These courses can also be taken for academic units, which can be applied to the Master of Arts in Gastronomy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"includes-container has-2\">\n<div class=\"includes\">\n<div class=\"include\">\n<img src=\"\/met\/files\/2020\/10\/gastronomy-subject-area-promo2.jpg\" alt=\"Jacques Pepin with Culinary Arts' team\" width=\"540\" height=\"404\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19\" \/>\r\n<h3>Professional Culinary Arts Program<\/h3>\r\n<p>BU\u2019s 14-week, hands-on cooking program was cofounded by two of the world\u2019s most influential culinary figures, Julia Child and Jacques P\u00e9pin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/foodstudies\/programs\/culinary-arts\/professional-culinary-arts-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn More<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"include\">\n<img src=\"\/met\/files\/2025\/07\/Professional-Pastries-Promo-FAW_Pastries-106.jpg\" alt=\"Professional Pastry Arts Students working in the kitchen at Boston University.\" width=\"540\" height=\"404\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19\" \/>\r\n<h3>Professional Pastry Arts Program<\/h3>\r\n<p>BU\u2019s intensive, 14-week program in pastry arts provides the foundational skills and sensory knowledge necessary for entry level positions in restaurants and professional bake shops. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/foodstudies\/programs\/pastry-arts\/professional-pastry-arts-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn More<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a id=\"degreesandcertificates\" name=\"degreesandcertificates\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;
