Learn in the heart of the contemporary culinary scene

Culinary diversity is one of the things that makes the U.S. such a magical and inspiring place for students to live and learn, and The International Culinary Center’s campuses put students at the center of the action. Our New York campus is situated in the heart of SoHo, an enclave of art and fashion that’s also at the pulse of the city’s restaurant scene. Our Bay Area campus is located within close proximity to the farms and vineyards California is known for and is less than an hour away from San Francisco. Aside from the culture and entertainment that make these places unique, they’re also home to top international chefs, food experts, and some of the world's most famous restaurants.

Get the support you need to focus on your studies

Studying overseas is a rewarding, once-in-a-lifetime experience, but there’s no question that it can be challenging. For this reason, our staff works hard to see to it that the needs of our international students are met with care. A dedicated International Student Adviser ensures that your transition is smooth before you even arrive in the United States by helping you navigate the visa and immigration process and plan for life in America.

The International Culinary Center also offers safe and affordable housing options, just a short distance away from our campuses. Student clubs (including one in New York just for international students) and numerous activities provide opportunities for you to meet students with the same passion for food and cooking.
