Le Cordon Bleu is a private institution specializing in culinary arts and hospitality management. Founded in Paris in 1895, it operates as a global network of campuses, offering diplomas and degrees rather than being state-funded or publicly governed.
Its programs are career-focused, with an emphasis on hands-on training. While some locations partner with public universities for degree validation, Le Cordon Bleu itself remains privately owned and managed, adhering to its own academic and financial policies.
