ICE is an award-winning institiution. Our chef-instructors, hospitality and management instructors, alumni and students are award winners too, having continually earned recognition and praise in their respective fields.

At ICE, you'll discover and follow your own culinary voice, no matter where your career path may lead, be it chef, baker, journalist or hospitality manager. Here, you are exposed to a diverse and vibrant world of food through contact with prominent industry professionals and opportunities to work in leading establishments in New York and beyond.

On a national basis, so many culinary schools base their programs around associate degrees — programs that require more time to complete and cost more than a diploma. The reality is that culinary employers do not place importance on whether your culinary school training is at the diploma or associate level. What is important is that they know and respect the school you attended, and are confident that you're graduating with the requisite skills and confidence.

In a year or less, you’ll have a firm foundation in the culinary or hospitality area of your choice, with a chance to explore your own interests and individual passion through an externship that puts you in the market, where you want to be. You will gain the skills and confidence you need to begin a successful career. Once you’ve graduated, you'll have access to ongoing job placement assistance, professional development and networking opportunities.

Walk through our door. What you feel is your own excitement to get started on your journey.
