About this school
International Culinary Arts and Sciences Institute is a private for-profit trade school located in Chesterland, Ohio, in a fringe rural setting. The campus is not currently listed as accredited in the U.S. Department of Education's DAPIP database, and it does not participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs, meaning students cannot use FAFSA or Pell Grants here. The school offers four program families under the culinary-schools category, with its most-awarded program being Culinary & Pastry Schools, which accounted for 22 completions among a small undergraduate enrollment of 33 students.
Federal outcomes data for this campus is limited. The state average completion rate for similar institutions in Ohio is 68.8 percent, but this campus's own completion rate compared to the state average is not reported for this campus in federal data. Median debt of graduates, median earnings 10 years after entry, and annual cost of attendance are not reported for this campus in federal data. The share of students receiving Pell Grants is reported at 0.0 percent, consistent with the school's non-participation in Title IV aid.
Given its small size and focused culinary and pastry programming, this campus may suit students seeking a concentrated, hands-on culinary credential rather than a broad associate degree path. Because federal aid is not available and accreditation is not currently listed, prospective students should verify current accreditation status directly with the school and review the College Scorecard listing before enrolling.
