Dear Parents of First-Year Students,

Greetings from all of us here at New England Culinary Institute. We hope you find this website a helpful tool for finding information about our college and its programs as well as our application process, financial aid, campus tours and upcoming events. We encourage you and your son or daughter to be proactive in your search for the right college to ensure that NECI is the best fit for his or her needs.

We have a unique culture here at NECI. As a small, hands-on school we are well known for our immersion style of learning. We pioneered the low student-teacher ratio more than 25 years ago – the practice of recognizing each student as a valued individual is one that begins with their admissions process and extends to the entire family.

While the road to choosing the right college can be long and bumpy with applications to complete and financial packages to secure, our goal at NECI is to guide you smoothly through the process. Your personal admissions representative and our financial aid office will work with you one-on-one to help make your son’s or daughter’s dream a reality.

We encourage you, as a family, to come tour our campus to see if NECI is a good fit. If your daughter or son decides this is where they have to be to ensure that they get the education they need for today’s competitive culinary world, then we will do our best to spend as much time as possible working individually with her or him and your family. Put your questions and worries in our hands so that we can provide you with answers and solutions.

Thank you for taking the time to research New England Culinary Institute. Please, call us, talk to us, visit us – we hope that you will see how NECI is different from all the others. To contact the admissions department by phone, dial toll-free 877.223.6324, or email admissions@neci.edu to reach one of us directly. We look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,
Ted Wiechman
Director of Admissions
