Part 2: Program Summary

Provide a high level review of the program to include highlights, successes, challenges, significant changes, and significant resources needed to support the program
The Culinary Arts Program is nationally accredited by the American Culinary Federation Foundation Accrediting Commission. This ensures that the program meets the standards and competencies set for faculty, curriculum and student services. Our practices are aligned with industry practices and our faculty maintain a high level of professionalism. Being nationally accredited by the ACFEFAC, is no small undertaking and assures that the CNM Culinary Arts program is meeting the standards and competencies set for faculty, curriculum, and student services. Accreditation creates public trust by ensuring established standards, accountability and credibility, a high level of professionalism, up-to-date and current practices nation-wide, and provides CNM with marketing tools for recruiting new students, as well as having the ACFEF accreditation acting as a third party endorser for federal funding.
