🎓 Associate Degree Programs

🌟 Looking for a shorter pathway? We also offer two fully online Microcredentials!

✨ Event Planning
✨ Event Decorating

While these microcredentials are offered online, they're far from traditional online classes! You'll complete interactive, hands-on projects, creating event plans, floral arrangements, décor, and other creative assignments. You'll submit photos and videos of your work, allowing you to build practical skills and a professional portfolio from wherever you are.

Even better, these microcredentials can be a stepping stone toward our Event & Sports Entertainment Management A.O.S. degree if you decide to continue your education.

Whether you're looking for a degree, a new career, or simply want to develop your creative talents, there's a place for you at SUNY Broome's Culinary & Event Center!
