Are you interested in restaurant management or a culinary arts education? Tours are scheduled by appointment, seven days a week, for your convenience and you are encouraged to talk with our students and instructors. A tour will also give you the opportunity to meet with your Admission Representative and a Tuition Planning Professional.

To excel in the culinary arts, students are expected to show a high degree of motivation and ambition. All our students must have a high school diploma or an equivalency certificate (GED). Please contact the Admissions Department for complete admissions requirements

The backgrounds and histories of our students are extremely diverse. Some students have a GED, others have a PhD, and ages range from 17 to 78.

All are ambitious to develop their skills to become a professional chef, restaurant manager, or owner with a culinary arts education.

Our diverse student body has one thing in common--the drive and passion to fulfill their dreams. At Scottsdale Culinary Institute, you can learn basic and advanced culinary arts skills while sharing your enthusiasm and knowledge through serving others.
