Tompkins Cortland Community College is suspending its culinary arts program and shifting focus toward workforce training, following a 28% surge in fall enrollment, according to Tompkins Weekly. The move aligns with efforts to tighten the college’s budget and address regional job needs.
While culinary studies pause, TC3 is expanding free courses in fields like computer science, nursing, and emergency services. The college is also offering new health science transfer programs and CDL training to meet employer demands.
TC3’s “Sustaining a Vibrant Future” plan aims to streamline operations, grow revenue, and better serve local students through redesigned enrollment services and strategic partnerships.
