Associate in Science in Restaurant Management

Diablo Valley College’s restaurant management program offers an in-depth, hands-on learning curriculum where students gain both knowledge and experience through the program’s technical facilities. Restaurant management students work and learn in a fully equipped food production kitchen, a demonstration laboratory, a retail pastry shop and a restaurant that is open to the public. 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 restaurant management is geared primarily towards DVC’s culinary students desiring some additional management course work. Students who are interested in pursuing a management-focused program in hospitality should expect to complete a four-year degree program at a university. These students should see a counselor or faculty advisor and consider the General Education Requirements Options 2 or 3. The associate degree in hospitality studies may be an appropriate program choice for students who wish to transfer to a university.
