Columbia, MD

Lincoln Culinary Institute (LCI) , a division of Lincoln Tech, is now preparing students for the thousands of job opportunities projected to open by 2026 for culinary professionals*. Maryland is expected to add double-digit job growth during that time, and the LCI campus in Columbia, MD has the hands-on Culinary Arts training to build culinary skills that will get the attention of hiring managers.

Culinary Arts training also includes a foundation in Food Services to help you expand your career possibilities when you graduate. You can start a career as a personal or private chef, or follow the traditional route and work in the kitchens of restaurants, hotels, resorts and more. Instruction takes place in fully-equipped modern kitchens, and you’ll team up with classmates on friendly competitions and put the fruits (and flavors) of your training to the test. You’ll learn from professional chefs with years of real-world experience, and get connected to a 180-hour externship in an actual restaurant before graduation.

Our Culinary Arts training program topics include:

• Using classical and modern food preparation styles
• Working with meats, poultry and fish
• Food service operation and management
• The science of nutrition
• Preparing international cuisine
