LIVONIA,
Mich., July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Wayne County Community College District
(WCCCD) and Schoolcraft College are
excited to announce a new collaboration in the field of culinary
arts. A new agreement between the colleges provides students with a
unique opportunity to access a seamless career pathway that
includes multiple stackable credentials, catering to the
high-demand employment needs of the culinary arts industry.
Under the agreement, students can complete foundational culinary
arts courses at WCCCD, earning for-credit certificates in
preparation to transfer to Schoolcraft
College to build additional credentials that culminate in a
Bachelor of Science Degree in Culinary and Dietary Operations
Management from Schoolcraft. The
program also offers accelerated options that combine
industry-aligned classroom instruction with hands-on training.
"This agreement is a win-win for both of our institutions.
Working together to better our students' education is every
college's mission, and having agreements in place such as this one
only help to serve the students both our schools serve," said Dr.
Glenn Cerny, president of
Schoolcraft College. "We're excited to
welcome students from WCCCD to our campus to continue their studies
and hope this agreement leads to other similar arrangements that
benefit all our students."
"Our mission has always been to offer our students pathways to
better lives through higher education," said WCCCD Chancellor Dr.
Curtis Ivery. "We are proud to
partner with Schoolcraft College to
mark a significant step forward in culinary arts education,
offering students a robust and comprehensive pathway to success in
a thriving industry."
This agreement will take effect later this fall with 15
students. For more information, please contact 313-496-2345.
