That's The Culinary Institute of America
At our campus in Hyde Park, New York, we don't just have master chefs; we have the most Certified Master Chefs of any culinary college on our outstanding faculty. We don't just have alumni; we have a network of more than 44,000 graduates, many of them leaders in the food industry. We don't just offer hands-on experience; students spend over 1,300 hours in the kitchen or bakeshop, more than at almost any other culinary school.
A CIA bachelor's or associate degree in culinary arts or baking and pastry arts is an unmatched credential that will open doors to an endless number of exciting career opportunities for you.
It's not just the fact that Paul Bocuse—one of the world's most respected chefs—is saying it. The foodservice and hospitality industry has known it for a long time now: The Culinary Institute of America is the world's premier culinary college. As a true culinary college, the depths of its resources and the strengths of its degree programs make the CIA so much more than a cooking school.
