The New England Culinary Institute is a reputable institute that doesn’t get as much press as some of the other programs out there. Alton Brown and Sue Hoss (Sr. Editor of Cuisine at Home Magazine) are just a couple of alumni.

I worked at Kendall College with an adviser that previously worked at NECI. She had nothing but praise for the institution. Based on their scholarship listings, they also care about hard-working incoming students that deserve it.
