Nine Reasons the CIA is Your Only Choice and the Best Decision You’ll Ever Make
For starters, there are a lot more than nine reasons to choose The Culinary Institute of America. But we know you’re busy, so we’ll leave the others for another time—like when you come visit us on campus.
p1. Food is our purpose
We believe in the power of food to change lives and, yes, the world. Our singular focus on food and your success in the food industry is what makes us—and you—great. Because we’re not distracted by a host of unrelated degrees and majors, we can pour all of our energy, passion, and industry smarts into making the best food education even better. And that’s exactly what we do.

p2. Learning from the crème de la crème
We’re committed to giving you the best start possible in food, and that means hiring only the most talented and credentialed instructors, deans, and leadership team. At the CIA, you learn from education professionals at the top of their game: people who have excelled in the food world, who’ve earned academic accolades, who are true believers in our mission. A perfect example is the guy right at the top: President Dr. Tim Ryan, CMC, a graduate of the CIA, the Ivy League, and the world’s kitchens.
