It is with great pleasure that we extend an  invitation to you to visit the Culinary Education  Center of Monmouth County. This newly  renovated facility has state-of-the-art kitchens,  an innovative curriculum, and an exceptional  staff of chef instructors to offer future  culinarians the opportunity to study in an  optimal learning environment.

The Culinary Education Center is a product of  a unique collaboration between Brookdale Community College and the Monmouth County Vocational School  District.

The Center offers Associate degrees,  Certificates and Letters of Recognition in  Culinary Arts, geared toward people of  diverse ages and experiences.

There are relevant, hands-on and classroom  opportunities for students ranging from  beginners to working chefs who want to brush  up on or add to their skills. Program  participants can join the American Culinary Federation (ACF) and Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA)and participate  in food preparation competitions.

An integral part of the program is the  required externship. Culinary Arts  participants put their learning to work in  hospitality positions in our area, throughout  the nation, and even abroad.

Because the hospitality industry is growing  so quickly, the need for highly trained  professionals to work in our area’s hotels  and restaurants is enormous. We are  building a community of professionals in the  food service industry. Our goal is to take the  Culinary Education Center of Monmouth  County to the forefront of culinary education.

Please join us at the Center. Call (732) 988-3299 to arrange a tour.

Call a Brookdale admission representative at (732) 224-2371 to begin  your career in Culinary Arts.

Bon appetite!
