Collaborate with other healthcare disciplines; learn valuable skills and work ethics; and complete both student-driven and community-driven projects. Complete an internship to practice and apply the skills you’ve learned. No background in foodservice is required for the 1-year AAS degree; a foodservice background is required for the career advancement certificate.
