How is B. Sc (Culinary Arts) different from B. Sc (Hotel Management)?

Hotel Management and Culinary Arts belong to the same industry but they are quite different programmes of study. Culinary Arts is all about cooking techniques, food services and professional kitchen management whereas Hotel Management is like a business degree focusing on what hospitality industry needs as far as its management part is concerned. In India, Culinary Arts is generally not taught as a separate domain but along with Hotel Management. If you look at Europe, Australia and America, hospitality is completely different from culinary because there culinary is seen as a completely different domain. Some institutes in India award BA (Culinary Arts) degree and some award B. Sc (Culinary Arts) degree. Terminology is different but curriculum is the same. On the other hand, B. Sc (Hotel Management) is comparatively an older domain.
