Thank you for considering The French Culinary Institute for your culinary education. Our renowned career programs can get you on the fast track to becoming a chef or pursuing another rewarding culinary career and, under federal law, are open to enrollment by M-1 nonimmigrant students. These programs are:
- Classic Culinary Arts (full-time/days only)
- Classic Pastry Arts (full-time/days only)

Most international students enrolled in these programs will need a student visa to enter the United States. Before you begin the visa process, you need to submit an Application for Admission and be accepted. You may apply online or download the necessary admission forms.

Our international students are an integral part of our student body, and we hope you’ll join us. To make it as easy as possible for you, we have created this resource to help you navigate the visa process.
If you have questions or need further clarification along the way, email our International Student Advisor, Leland Scruby, or call him at 646-254-8586.
