How Many Four-Year Colleges have Culinary Arts Programs?
I read that Drexel U right here in Philly has one; are there others in the US and Canada that have them?

Well, there are plenty of schools that have great Hotel / Restaurant Management programs. Penn State being one of them.

The only actual Culinary Arts bachelors program that comes to mind would be the 38 month CIA program.
To be honest, a combination of a 12 month Culinary Arts program followed by jumping in head first will take you as far as you need. I can't imagine spending the money at a traditional college for a bachelors in Culinary Arts.

Johnson and Wales in Providence, RI is a great culinary school - Emeril actually went there!

Canadian Culinary Institute in Prince Edward Island. Cordon Bleu in Ottawa for sure - but you must go to Paris to complete the final few months. A number of colleges have two year programs but they are more "food service" or "restaurant management" based - like St Lawrence College in my town. Algonquin College in Ottawa has a food service program and runs a restaurant at which the public can eat that is run by the students. But probably the premier school is CCI. My step son wants to go there!

Cornell University has a Hotel Management program that many two year culinary students go into to get a four year degree in the hospitality industry. I believe you can go on for your masters there if desired. It does have some food programs but I think it is geared towards a broader view of the hospitality industry and not as specialized when it comes to the culinary arts. They also have a food science program there. Cornell is well known for it's excellence in it's academic programs. On another note, I can say first hand that their Vet school is tops--kind and compassionate care from faculty and students. I had to take one of our cats there a few times, and would you believe they mailed his toy that we left there along with a nice little note about what a wonderful kitty we have.

Baltimore International College has certificate, 2 year, and 4 year programs.

One of my best friends went also to Johnson & Wales in Providence, RI. You take a 2-year Culinary arts or Pastry arts program and then you can add a 2-year Restaurant Management program to make it the full 4-year BA.
Adding to what dhorst said... Cornell also has an online program where you can study Food Managament from your own home. They have a Certificate program and a longer program (I can't remember how they call it). They say it's Ivy School education without the carbon footprint. Very interesting...

I'm on the college hunt right now, hoping to pursue some sort of food-related major. I've been investigating Nutrition, Food Science, etc. Cornell's Ag school has a ton of interesting majors and classes that run from viticulture to food tasting. UVM has a food science program, as does NYU. They're not cooking classes, though - for instruction in cooking, you'd have to go to CIA, J&W, etc. =) Hope that helps!

@BITTER: Because you're a PA resident, you'd get in-state tuition at Penn State. Good value there!

@Susquehanna - I was just curious; I think I may be a bit too old to pursue another BA at this point in my life. Maybe an AA for me. I just wondered if any accredited universities/colleges had them. Thanks for the suggestion though.
