Transfer/College Credit

If you already have some college credits, you may also be able to transfer them - making the path to your degree even shorter.

Prospective students often wonder whether they should pursue a degree or a diploma — at ICE, you may be able to do both.

How It Works*

ICE is proud to have been evaluated by the National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS), an organization chartered by the New York State Board of Regents to make college credit recommendations. As such, graduates of ICE’s Culinary Arts program may be able to transfer their ICE credits and receive up to 19 college credits, graduates of ICE Pastry & Baking Arts Program can transfer their ICE credits and receive up to 18 college credits, graduates of ICE’s Hospitality & Hotel Management Program can transfer their ICE credits and receive up to 19 credits and and graduates of ICE’s Restaurant & Culinary Management program may be able to transfer their ICE credits and receive up to 14 college credits.

Double Your Fun

ICE graduates that earn double diplomas (Culinary Arts and Restaurant & Culinary Management or Pastry & Baking Arts and Restaurant & Culinary Management) may be able to transfer their credits and receive up to 33 college credits. Did we mention you can earn a double diploma at ICE, in two award-winning programs, in the time it takes to earn one diploma elsewhere? Plus, we’ll take 10% off the tuition, fees and charges.

About NCCRS

NCCRS makes credit recommendations to 1,500 colleges and universities to use as a guide in granting college credit for courses taken at non-degree granting institutions. The privilege of evaluation does not mean that ICE can itself award college credit, only a college or university can do that. In addition, the actual amount of credit that an ICE graduate will receive will be determined by each individual college or university. Please contact the ICE Registrar for more information.
