Food is your life.
Food. It’s a source of endless curiosity. And an outlet for your creativity. Maybe even your side hustle. Food nourishes your soul like nothing else. Food is your life. And it’s our life, too.
At the Culinary Institute of America, food is what we do. And we do it best. Here, food is discipline, mastery, art. Food is science, math, and history. Food is hospitality, business, innovation, and global change.
At CIA, you’ll discover that food can open any door. It can prepare you for the corner café or the national stage. It can help you make a difference in your community or on a global scale.
At CIA, you can turn your life’s passion into your life’s purpose. Here, food is your life.
