Chef John Folse Culinary Institute
Hi, my name is Amy Hebert and I am the Advisor for all Culinary Arts majors.
Here are some things all Culinary Arts students need to know about scheduling for your first semester.
FIRST SEMESTER CLASSES include: Culinary 101 (Food History), Culinary 105 (Sanitation) unless:
 Have completed and received ProStart Certificate of Achievement (serves as credit for CULA 101) *
 Have completed and received ServSafe Certificate (serves as credit for CULA 105)*
 If credit has been earned for both CULA 101 and 105, then work may begin on Culinary lab classes (email
Chef John Kozar at john.kozar@nicholls.edu for enrollment into CULA 111 and 221).
 *** Students must send in certificates to receive course waivers.
 You will also schedule UNIV 101- For JFCI Majors
 Math courses: Check schedule sheet for Math placement. All Culinary majors are required to have 6 hours of Math to be
composed of a 100 level Mathematics course and an elective. Acceptable 100 level Math courses include: Math 100
(counts as 101 when complete), 101, 116, or 117. The Math elective is your choice and can include: Math 102, 106, 108,
117, 210, or 214. Suggested Math sequencing: Math 100/101/117 and an elective or Math 116/117 and 214.
Students cannot take both Math 116 and 117 to fulfill requirements.
 History electives: see elective sheet, all are acceptable History electives for Culinary majors.
