Master
of Culinary Arts (MCA)
School of Business
and Economics
Atlantic International University
The Master of Culinary Arts (MCA) program
objective is to help students gain experience
in the kitchen while studying the business
of cost control, sanitation and safety,
menu and beverage management, nutrition,
and kitchen management. The Master of Culinary
Arts (MCA) program is offered online via
distance learning. After evaluating both
academic record and life experience, AIU
staff working in conjunction with Faculty
and Academic Advisors will assist students
in setting up a custom-made program, designed
on an individual basis. This flexibility
to meet student needs is seldom found in
other distance learning programs. Our online
program does not require all students to
take the same subjects/courses, use the
same books, or learning materials. Instead,
the online Master of Culinary Arts (MCA)
curriculum is designed individually by the
student and academic advisor. It specifically
addresses strengths and weaknesses with
respect to market opportunities in the student’s
major and intended field of work. Understanding
that industry and geographic factors should
influence the content of the curriculum
instead of a standardized one-fits-all design
is the hallmark of AIU’s unique approach
to adult education. This philosophy addresses
the dynamic and constantly changing environment
of working professionals by helping adult
students in reaching their professional
and personal goals within the scope of the
degree program.
Important: Below is an example of the topics
or areas you may develop and work on during
your studies. By no means is it a complete
or required list as AIU programs do not
follow a standardized curriculum. It is
meant solely as a reference point and example.
