New York—Our Main Campus

The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY—named one of “The 50 Most Beautiful College Campuses in America” by Condé Nast Traveler—sits on the beautiful Hudson River in the heart of food and wine country. A short train ride away from New York City, but a whole world apart in the majestic Hudson Valley. You’ll be immersed in the world of food as part of a vibrant and fun college community. Alongside people who love hospitality and the craft and technique of cooking as much as you, you’ll be at the center of the food revolution and its impact on health, nutrition, sustainability of the planet, and our economy.
