The Academy of Culinary Arts has released its Dean’s Recognition List for Academic Excellence for the Fall 2011 semester. Students are named to the list when they achieve a grade-point average of 3.25 or higher.
The academy, located in Punxsutawney, is one of only 112 programs in the United States fully accredited by the American Culinary Federation, the maximum accreditation possible for culinary programs in the United States.
Programs with ACF accreditation have met or exceeded published industry standards and are distinguished from hundreds of other post-secondary culinary programs in the nation.
Following is the recognition list. Pennsylvania students are listed first, organized by county of residence, followed by non-Pennsylvania students.
