About Le Cordon Bleu Institute of Culinary Arts in Pittsburgh

Once the heart of America's steel industry, Pittsburgh, PA, has made an astonishing transformation from a gritty industrial town to an enlightened urban oasis in the beautiful western Pennsylvania countryside. Since the founding of the Le Cordon Bleu Institute of Culinary Arts in Pittsburgh in 1986, students have taken advantage of Pittsburgh's big-city cultural attractions (including two of the most storied teams in professional sports: the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Penguins) even as they study culinary arts in the Le Cordon Bleu tradition. There's no shortage of dining options, either, and Pittsburgh can offer more farmer's markets, u-pick farms, and CSA programs per capita than any other city in the USA*, letting you explore fresh local produce and new flavors.

Our Le Cordon Bleu culinary programs are designed to help students pursue their passions and prepare them for professional opportunities in the culinary arts, pâtisserie and baking, and hospitality industries.

Each student undertakes a comprehensive, challenging education in classic culinary techniques combined with modern innovations and the latest in global cuisine. They learn through demonstration by chef instructors followed by hands-on, practical application.

The Le Cordon Bleu curriculum includes important theoretical concepts and industry-relevant general education courses. Students also benefit from smaller class sizes in a creative, supportive community.
