Overview
Johnson & Wales University-Online is the online division of the Providence, Rhode Island-based institution best known for culinary arts and hospitality management. Its online catalog shifts away from the culinary training that defines the residential campuses, focusing instead on business, hospitality management, and food-industry-adjacent degrees built for working adults rather than traditional-age students living on campus.
Worth knowing
This is a fully online program, not a residential college experience; students considering it should understand they're evaluating a degree-completion or working-adult pathway, not the culinary and hospitality campus life that gives the Johnson & Wales name its reputation.
