CSCA is one of 13 culinary schools owned by Career Education Corporation ("CEC"), one of the largest providers of private, postsecondary education. CEC partnered with the internationally renowned Le Cordon Bleu(R)(2) in Paris, France in 1999, to create Le Cordon Bleu Schools North America, a dynamic culinary alliance in North America. Le Cordon Bleu Schools North America is the world's largest provider of quality culinary arts education.
