Statistical Analyzer:

I strongly suggest this school for culinary arts or hospitality majors, not so much for business majors. Many people I know who currently are in business majors are very dissatisfied, but then again JWU is not known for its business college. In fact, most of the negative comments here about JWU are from business majors. I feel the negative comments left by culinary students just might have been ones similar to students with whom I had class that were content to slack off, then complain when good grades weren't simply handed to them. Some people here fail to realize this is COLLEGE, and not an extension of high school. You must work for your good grades.

I have my AS in baking and pastry arts, and feel I received a good education (good enough to work as a pastry chef), my chef instructors were wonderful and cared about their students succeeding in the program. However, I feel stopping at the AS level is a big waste of time. Sure, you'll have a bit more earning power in the job market, but if you really want to go places, stay in school and get a Bachelor's degree. I've also gone through the culinary arts associate program, but must still do a co-op or internship to complete my degree requirements, so I have experience with every major at the culinary arts college. The culinary AS program was much more rife with slackers than the baking & pastry AS, and are people who have no sense of urgency in a kitchen, nurture bad habits and who have bad attitudes to begin with (although not ALL of them are like this!). These are, i'm 98% positive, the people who are quick to leave a scathing review on this site, saying this school and the education here is crap. These are also the people not participating in or taking advantage of the plethora of information and resources this university provides to its students. YOU ONLY TAKE FROM AN EXPERIENCE JUST AS MUCH AS YOU'RE WILLING TO PUT IN.

I am now in the Nutrition program, and this is such a wonderful, challenging program. I felt like I wouldn't have been very marketable with a Baking & Pastry Arts Bachelor's degree (and I didn't want to work in a kitchen for the next 40 years!), and the Baking & Pastry job market is difficult to break into. Pastry jobs are well-paying, but there aren't that many available (compared to culinary chef jobs). Nutrition is a much broader field and you can do just about anything with it. The nutrition program at JWU is exceptional; take it from someone who is currently in the program. I'm being challenged every day. It is also the ONLY Bachelor's nutrition program in the country that is accredited by the ADA (American Dietitic Assoc).

Getting into the nutrition program is somewhat difficult (but worth it to work toward!). Faculty recommendations, an essay, several questions, an interview with the department chair, and a GPA of 3.4 or higher are all required. The students in this program are focused, determined and have a drive to succeed. If you are someone like that, I strongly recommend this program. Graduates from the nutrition program are well-respected out in industry for a reason - they get a great education here.

Good luck!
