The college offers four majors: Culinary Arts, Restaurant Management, Pastry Arts and Hotel Management. The majors are offered at the Associate and Bachelor's degree levels.[1]

Located in the University City section of Philadelphia the campus features four open-to-the-public student-run restaurants, a pastry shop, bookstore and gift shop and a student cafe. The college offers on-site housing for students.

Special features are travel experiences which are included in the tuition. All Culinary and Pastry students in the Associate Degree participate in a week-long gastronomic tour of France.
