Academics
Johnson & Wales University, "America's Career University,", has campuses in four locations: Providence, Rhode Island; North Miami, Florida; Denver, Colorado; and Charlotte, North Carolina. (Two previous campuses in Norfolk, Virginia, and Charleston, South Carolina, were consolidated into the Charlotte Campus in September 2004.) JWU currently has three academic units at all four of its campuses: the College of Business, the College of Culinary Arts, and the Hospitality College.
The Providence Campus is home to additional academic units: the School of Technolgy, the Alan Shawn Feinstein Graduate School, and the John Hazen White School of Arts & Sciences. Of these, the School of Arts & Sciences is not degree-granting, but is responsible for the liberal arts education that complements the degree-granting programs.
Johnson & Wales University is well known for its Culinary Arts program as well as business and hospitality programs. The university is the largest food service educator in the world. JWU also offers many other degrees, including Accounting, Fashion Merchandising and Retail Management, Management, Marketing, Criminal Justice, Entrepreneurship, and Sports Entertainment and Event Management.
Academic calendar
JWU is divided into three trimesters each 11 weeks long, where the standard fall and spring semesters are replaced with fall, winter, and spring trimesters. This results in an earlier spring break and a typical summer break from May to September. During these three terms, students usually take three to four courses a trimester.
