“Teaching is the best education. Through food, we share our culture and heritage and learn more about ourselves. Teaching at the CJFCI has given me the opportunity to pass on the knowledge and experience that I have accumulated in my career and give the culinary students a chance to develop to their fullest potential.”
VISIT OUR CAMPUS
Nestled in the heart of Louisiana’s Bayou Region, the Chef John Folse Culinary Institute invites aspiring chefs with an adventurous palate and an insatiable desire to work in the food and service industries to pursue a Bachelor of Science or Associate of Science degree in culinary arts at Nicholls, currently the only post-secondary institution in Louisiana offering a four-year culinary degree.

We pride ourselves on teaching our students about cuisine from around the world. However, our students are a step above others because of their knowledge of cajun and creole cuisine.
