Cost Overview

Families earning under $30,000 pay around $13,860 annually at this small Philadelphia culinary school, while those making over $75,000 face the full $20,438 net price. Over two years, total costs range from roughly $27,720 to $40,876. The school serves a predominantly working-class student body, with 56% receiving Pell Grants.

Graduates carry a median debt of $8,209, translating to monthly payments of $87. Recent graduates earn $18,983 in their first year, meaning loan payments consume about 5.5% of gross income. However, only 35% of borrowers successfully repay their loans. The 4-to-1 student-faculty ratio suggests intensive, hands-on training in commercial kitchens.

Lower-income students get the best financial deal here, paying less than the sticker price while accessing the same culinary training that leads to 98% employment rates among graduates.
