Become the Best of the Best
CIA graduates are a cut above the rest. It’s why top food and hospitality companies continually look to hire them—they’re the best of the best. Are you ready to join them? Hear why it’s the best decision you’ll ever make.
I love the fact that all of your chefs want you to succeed. But no chef will give it to you; it has to be earned. It reminds me a lot of being in the Army where it is extremely team-driven.

US Army Veteran, CIA student, Bachelor’s in Food Business Management
It was really easy for me to come to school every day wearing a uniform correctly and with pride. That was something I was used to. I wore the veteran lapel pin and the Air Force pin proudly. The faculty and staff were supportive and grateful for my service.
