<p>Hey guys! So I have orientation on July 10th and I’m dying to get a good idea of the classes I’m going to be taking. My major is Apparel Merchandising, but I’m really interested in the culinary arts (NOT dietetics.) I was wondering if any of you know of any culinary classes that I could take as a pure elective…or I guess even a minor? Thanks in advance! :)</p>
<p>IU does not have a culinary arts program.</p>
<p>The local community college (Ivy Tech) does offer a program:
[Hospitality</a> Administration - Ivy Tech Community College](<a href=“http://www.ivytech.edu/hospitality-admin/index.html]Hospitality”>Hospitality Administration (Events & Culinary Arts) - Ivy Tech Community College)</p>
<p>There is also a cooking school in Bloomington: [Bloomington</a> Cooking School | Cooking Classes in Bloomington Indiana](<a href=“bloomingtoncookingschool.com - bloomingtoncookingschool Resources and Information.”>http://www.bloomingtoncookingschool.com/)</p>
<p>Occasionally, there are non-credit classes offered to the community at Bloomingfoods.</p>
<p>Of course, Bloomington has a great variety of ethnic restaurants.</p>
<p>I believe there are some people in the Anthro Dept. who have an interest in the Anthropology of Food, but this doesn’t extend to actual cooking.</p>
