Culinary Institute of America

For 75 years the Culinary Institute of America has poured their energy, passion, and industry knowledge into providing the best food and hospitality-focused education. Here food is life, and everyone is 100% focused on preparing students for a rewarding life in food. Only at the CIA will students get the immersive learning and industry connections they need to lead in the kitchen, hotel operations, or anywhere else they want to go in food or hospitality. With campuses in New York, California, and Texas, we offer associate degrees and bachelor's degree programs in the following areas of study: culinary arts, baking and pastry arts, food business management, applied food studies, culinary science, and hospitality management. We also offer online master's degrees in Food Business and Sustainable Food Systems. Only at the CIA will students have 1,300+ hours in state-of-the-art kitchens and bakeshops, gain real-world experience in the CIA’s award-winning student-run, public-service restaurants, and get a world-class paid internship at one of 2,000+ CIA approved organizations.
