This option is designed as a third-year option for students completing the Culinary Arts program. It provides a range of business knowledge and experiences that will integrate well with the skills students have already achieved, preparing them to take on supervisory roles in their employment. Additionally, this option can develop skills needed to own, operate, and expand your own business. Students will learn to recognize and act on opportunities to develop an entrepreneurial mindset.

The Business Management core taught at NDSCS focuses student learning in the following areas:

Business Law
Communication Skills
Customer Relations
Economics
Emotional Intelligence
Entrepreneurship
Financial Analysis
Human Resource Management
Information Management
Marketing
Operations
Professional Development
Strategic Management

Employment growth in this occupation will be as fast as the average of all occupations. Multiple job openings will also be created as a large number of managers reach their age of retirement or take transfers for other reasons. Since the food preparation industry is only slightly affected by the economy, the occupation offers good job security for candidates.

A faculty advisor will assist students in the development of an appropriate program to meet the student’s career goals. Employment opportunities are unlimited, depending upon the individuals’ strengths and interests.

NOTE: This program requires an HP EliteBook or ZBOOK Laptop or equivalent. Please refer to the NDSCS website for specifications For further information, contact Greg Anderson, department chair at 701-671-2172.
