It is an option, but highly recommended to complete 6 general education credits per year, 18 credits total for the three year program. (Approx. $500 per year + Books, $1500 for a 3 year apprenticeship). This will result in an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Culinary Arts. Many of the sponsoring establishments will reimburse all or part of your tuition.

Note:  Applicants will be selected without regard to race, color, religion, sex or national origin. It is our intention to accept every student that applies to the program.

Completed applications and the first year tuition ($1000) are due September 4, 2008.

All chefs’ apprentices will be registered with Red Rocks Community College and Bureau of Labor & Training on September 4, 2008. A Red Rocks community college representative will be present for registration.
