ICE is an award-winning institution. Our chef-instructors, hospitality and management instructors, alumni and students are award winners too, consistently earning recognition and press mentions.

At ICE, you can discover, develop and follow your 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, prominent industry professionals and opportunities to work in leading establishments in New York and beyond.

Associate degree programs often require more time to complete and cost more than a diploma program. We're proud of our reputation for career training and are confident that you'll graduate with the requisite skills you need to succeed in the culinary and hospitality industries. Leading employers hire our diploma-earning alumni at prominent restaurants, bakeries, bars, publications and hotels around New York City and beyond.

In a year or less, you can 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.
