Chicago Culinary Institute
Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago
The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago (CHIC), a Chicago Culinary Institute, was established in 1983. From the very beginning, we differentiated ourselves from other culinary institutions by using the traditional, European hands-on approach to culinary education – something that was previously difficult to obtain in the Midwest.
From the first students to complete the Professional Cooking Program, Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago graduates have been known to possess the skills the industry needs. In fact, the demand for CHIC graduates exceeds our current enrollment.
The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago offers two culinary programs – the Associate of Applied Science Degree in Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts (AAS) and the Associate of Applied Science Degree in Patisserie & Baking. Both feature comprehensive culinary arts curricula that will season you for a career in the food service industry.
Anyone who has a passion for cooking and a willingness to learn can be successful at CHIC. Our students range from recent high school graduates, to international students, to professionals ready to make a career change. Are you ready to build a career with Chicago's premier culinary institute? Just say "CHIC."
For admission to Chicago Culinary Institute, students must complete an application and enrollment agreement, provide documentation of previous education experience (minimum requirements are a high school degree or a GED) and pay the registration fee. Additional requirements, such as placement exams, may be required.
