School Counselors

ICE has launched more than 17,900 careers in the food world and produced generations of satisfied parents, counselors and students along the way. We couple individualized training with the extensive career placement services in the field, arranging hands-on externships at the industry's top food establishments and providing professional support to our graduates long after they leave our teaching kitchens. In short, our mission is to help each student find his or her culinary voice. 

ICE offers comprehensive diploma and associate degree programs (LA campus only) in the Culinary Arts, Pastry & Baking Arts, and Plant-Based Culinary Arts (formerly known as Health-Supportive Arts. We also offer diploma programs for Restaurant & Culinary Management and Tourism, Travel & Hospitality Management, all of which can be completed in just seven to 14 months. We have convenient morning, afternoon, evening and weekend classes starting each month throughout the calendar year. Our 74,000-square-foot professional facility in New York and our 38,000-square-foot professional facility in Los Angeles feature small, hands-on classes with attentive, distinguished chef-instructors. Students enjoy a global tour of culinary traditions and techniques and access to the highest quality ingredients, sourced from the same purveyors that cater to NYC and LA’s finest restaurants. In 2021, ICE also began offering students in select states the opportunity to enroll in online culinary arts programs.
