How much will culinary school cost?
It depends on the school, where it’s located, and the specific program. A two-year community college will be much less expensive than a four-year private university. Go to www.shawguides.com (choose Career Cooking and Wine Schools) to compare costs. You’ll find different types of schools and culinary programs and their costs, including things like fees for materials. Think about all of your expenses when you are figuring out the cost of school: books, equipment/uniforms, room, board, and travel expenses.
Costs can vary widely, from several thousand dollars at a local community college to over $40,000 per year at a private university. Contact the schools you are interested in or go to www.shawguides.com to compare costs. When calculating costs, don’t forget to include lab fees, books, equipment/uniforms, room, board, and travel expenses.
