Culinary Institute of America



The Culinary Institute of America is probably the best known and most highly regarded culinary school in the country. Only about 90 minutes from home, this scenic campus on the Hudson River doesn’t have the most rigorous admissions standards in terms of traditional academic numbers, but applicants must have 6 months of experience in the food industry prior to enrollment. Once enrolled, students face an intensive, hands-on experience with every aspect of food preparation.
The 2700 students mostly live on campus, are split fairly evenly male/female and traditional (right out of high school) and non-traditional (adult) students.
There are 4 fully functioning restaurants on campus staffed and supplied by CIA students. Students can chose from just 2 majors; Culinary Arts Management and Baking & Pastry Management. Students can start at several different times during the year and can choose to pursue either an Associates of Bachelors degree.
