What Monroe University says about their program:
Success in the culinary arts takes more than talent. It takes pride and passion — and it takes hands-on training in a fast-paced, demanding environment.
You’ll find all of that at Monroe University’s Culinary Institute of New York (CINY). Like all of CINY’s programs, the Associate of Applied Science in Culinary Arts is fully accredited by the American Culinary Federation (ACF), but that’s just the beginning. The training we offer, both in the classroom and in the kitchen, will prepare you to work at the highest levels of the industry.
Whatever your dreams might be — opening a restaurant, running a catering company, or creating unforgettable menus at hotels and exotic resorts — CINY’s Culinary Arts program is the first step toward achieving them.
