Become a Baking & Pastry Professional

Perfecting cakes, breads, desserts, and pastries takes focus, creativity, and a solid understanding of how ingredients combine to produce a finished product. JWU Providence’s two-year Baking & Pastry Arts associate degree program will teach you the technical skills, scientific precision and craft to become a baking professional.

JWU’s International Baking & Pastry Institute® sets the global standard. In addition to mastering cakes, artisan bread, confections and plated desserts, you’ll learn how to develop menus, implement cost controls, and pass a nationally-recognized food safety certification.

Sharpen your critical thinking, communication, and leadership skills through professional studies courses. Complete an internship or study abroad option to apply your skills in a professional setting, build your network, and gain career-ready confidence.

You’ll receive a pastry kit with essential tools, a professional chef uniform, and JWU-produced digital textbooks covering fundamentals and formulas.

_{Admissions is contingent upon meeting the technical standards for this program. Individual states may require specific licensing or professional certification in addition to earning a degree in order to practice in the field.
