Where can an education from The International Culinary Center take you?

The International Culinary Center has such close relations with the culinary world and is respected in the industry. Don’t just take our word for it. Mario Batali calls us “the Oxford of cooking schools.” Anthony Bourdain refers to our team as “the best.” And, José Andrés says we’re “the place to be for anyone who wants to learn.”

The success of our industry-defining method is demonstrated by the success our students enjoy. In 2012, our students:

  • Had a 91% graduation rate
  • Had a 0% default rate of Sallie Mae loans
  • Were able to choose from over 5,000 job postings on the Job Menu, our exclusive student- and alumni-only online job board, which equates to an average of 6.2 job postings for every graduate that year
Due to our strong connections in the industry—and our graduate's strong reputation for success—International Culinary Center alumni are working in varied positions for culinary businesses around the world. Here are just a few of the places our graduates recently have landed:
