About Culinary Institute of Pacific
The programs at The Culinary Institute of the Pacific (CIP) at Kapi驶olani Community College planted its roots in 1946, then known as the 鈥淗otel and Restaurant鈥 program, under the Territorial Department of Public Instruction located at the Palama Settlement facilities. Since then, the program has moved from the Ala Wai Clubhouse to the Pensacola Campus to where it currently stands along the slopes of L膿鈥榓hi. The program has recently expanded its footprint to include the Culinary Institute of the Pacific at Diamond Head where two state-of-the-art culinary laboratories have been built and will soon be home to three prized facility additions: a Tasting Studio, the Food Creativity Center, and the highly anticipated CIP restaurant. The CIP program prides itself as a conduit for supporting the State of Hawai鈥榠鈥檚 culinary industry through a multitude of educational avenues, both short and long term, including bachelor鈥檚 degree transfer pathways, associate degrees, certificates, workforce development, and non-credit programming. The Culinary Institute of the Pacific programs extend across the University of Hawai驶i Community Colleges System including programs at Leeward Community College, Kaua驶i Community College, Maui College, and Hawai驶i Community College.
