Culinary Arts

For over 30 years, DVC has been successfully preparing students for professional culinary careers. Accredited by the American Culinary Federation since 1990, Diablo Valley College's culinary arts program offers an in-depth, hands-on learning curriculum where students gain both knowledge and experience through the hotel and restaurant management program’s technical facilities.

Culinary arts students work and learn in a fully equipped food production kitchen, a demonstration laboratory, a retail pastry shop and a 130-seat restaurant that is open to the public.

In addition to training at the DVC facilities, students gain experience working outside the college through a required internship program.
