New and modern teaching methods

ITESM is a college that greatly values student development in every aspect of their lives, from a deep and personal level up to the professional aspect of the University. The courses and classes have a modern way of teaching students different lessons and subjects in easy, fast and innovative ways in order to acquire as much information as possible, leaving space at the end of the career path to get a more deep and concentrated approach to the field of studies you wish to focus on. To finish it up there are hundreds of opportunities and activities to develop your personal self and your social abilities and connections; the School truly values the sense of entrepreneurship and social responsibility, among other core values, and it makes an effort to really make students feel like part of the TEC community through the years.

Student in 2013

I really enjoyed my time at LCB! I've found that my skills when I entered the work force were much higher than others. I think though there was a big portion missing in recipe development and composition. True- we did learn it through memorizing the recipes, but we really were missing classes on how different ingredients affect the final textures.. how you can change them... etc. That I still am not an expert in .. and I create recipes! Ouf! Also, I don't know if you still do a month of sugar work... but that really wasn't necessary and should be either cut or minimized to just 2 lessons. It's such a niche skill to know that I would have really preferred more technical skills. I loved the old location. The "rumors" I'm getting about the new location are that it's not as good, unfortunately - that i's become more of a money focused/marketing machine. I really hope that this image can be fixed as I love LCB and enjoyed my time there! Oh also - there should be more help for students to get jobs and featuring old students accomplishments - from cookbook launches to new bakeries so that current and old students can support them.
