The admissions process at the Institute is the starting point of a long-term relationship between our school and the student. Our Assistant Directors of Admissions will work individually with you to ensure that you understand all aspects of the educational experience. Before you complete the admissions process, we strongly suggest you sit in on a class for one day. This will give you the opportunity to see our school from a student's perspective, to meet our students and Chef-Instructors and to form a realistic impression of our curriculum.

Please click here to have an admissions representative contact you with free information on ICE®'s Culinary Arts, Pastry and Baking, and/or Management career training programs. Prospective students will be asked to complete an application form and invited to schedule a personal interview and tour of the school. Applicants unable to come to New York for an interview can arrange an interview by phone.

To qualify, prospective students must have a minimum of a High School Diploma or General Equivalency Diploma (GED) in order to start a program. (High School seniors can receive a preliminary Letter of Acceptance based on expected graduation, but must have High School Diploma in hand before matriculation.) In addition, verification of High School Diploma or transcripts, General Equivalency Diploma (GED), or College transcripts must be submitted prior to starting school. Copy of an Associates Degree, Bachelor Degree or higher are also accepted forms of required education.
