Gone are the days of having to put your life on hold to pursue advanced learning in the field of your dreams.

Our online culinary arts programs offer an affordable and effective option for learning the culinary arts, baking & pastry, and food & beverage operations through a 100% online curriculum that includes industry externships.

The online culinary arts and pastry arts classes we created for our programs mirror the hands-on and technique-based training received at our residential campuses — just in a more convenient package perfect for working adults or those without access to a traditional campus. Offered through the Boulder campus, Escoffier’ diploma and associate programs provide an affordable, accessible and quality alternative to more traditional, on-site education.
