*Students completing the AAS degree are required to complete a minimum of 15 credits in practice-based experiences with departmental approval. These may include internships, prior learning, co-educational experiences, portfolio building, project development, and professional education. The practice-based experience need not be culinary, but must be relevant to the field. Within the 15 practice-based credits, 3 to 6 credits will constitute the student's capstone project, under the guidance of an advisor or a professional appointed by the program's chair or director, based on their experience in internships, co-educational experiences, and professional education (with the exclusion of prior learning.)
