Associate in Science in Baking and Pastry

DVC has been placing students in small and large bakeries, specialty pastry shops, catering, and dessert preparation in restaurants for many years. Diablo Valley College’s baking and pastry program offers an in-depth, hands-on learning curriculum where students gain both knowledge and experience through the program’s technical facilities. In addition to training at the DVC facilities, students may gain experience working outside the college through an internship program. DVC’s associate degree in baking and pastry is designed primarily for those students who desire to complete a two-year degree. General Education Option 1 (DVC General Education) is appropriate for students who do not intend to transfer. Students who are interested in pursuing a management-focused program in hospitality should see a counselor and consider the General Education Requirements Options 2 or 3.
