Admissions Students should apply for admission at Le Cordon Bleu Program at the Pennsylvania Culinary Institute as early as possible. Competition for open spots can vary from quarter to quarter, but the earlier you send in your application, the better your chances for admission. All applicants will have a personal interview with an admissions representative. Families are always encouraged to attend the interview, because it gives both the applicants and their families an opportunity to tour the school's facilities, and to ask questions about the school's curriculum and career objectives.

We are committed to helping every student to complete his or her financial aid plan. We've helped many students just like you. Financial aid is available for those who qualify.
