Located in Bluffton, South Carolina, the Culinary Institute of the South at Technical College of the Lowcountry opened in the fall of 2021 with great fanfare and support from the community. The school offers hands-on, practical training in culinary arts, baking and pastry, and hospitality. Students choose from one of these program areas and can elect to earn either an associate or certificate degree. Highly trained, credentialed instructors teach both theory and practical application in and out of the kitchen. Students expand their skills by completing internships in the Lowcountry’s own world-renowned restaurants and resorts. Training in customer service, hospitality and entrepreneurship round out the curriculum. Plus, general education courses can be completed at any of TCL’s campuses or online. The campus itself is a 30,000+ square-foot, state-of-the-art, stand-alone facility featuring two teaching kitchens, a bake lab, a lecture theater, a café, a teaching restaurant, two academic classrooms, two computer labs and a ballroom for events or additional classroom space. This page, affiliated with TCL, is managed by culinary institute staff. To learn more or request information visit www.tcl.edu/culinary-institute.
