“The program at JWU Online was definitely worth the investment. The food service management industry has so many different avenues – I can be a chef or a food and beverage director, or maybe even a general manager. If I ever need a backup plan because I can’t work anymore as a chef, I have confidence this bachelor’s degree will open up new opportunities for me within or outside of the industry.”
