The second invoice will be for the Chef Store for your textbook, uniform and materials fee in the amount of $831.12.

Can I start with one program and move into another?2025-03-29T21:10:23-04:00

It’s as easy as pie:

  1. Schedule a no-obligation campus tour
  2. Complete your admissions interview and short assessment
  3. Submit your application and $500 non-refundable registration fee (waived for Second Career applicants)
