Transfer Students

CCI can help you complete your degree!

Welcome potential transfer students! Whether you are in the middle of your degree, almost finished, or just getting started, CCI has the courses you need to transfer and graduate easily and affordably.

We know how stressful it can be to change schools in the middle of your program. That’s why we’re here to help support you in your transition and in your learning. Join the passionate community of chefs and bakers at Cascade Culinary Institute at Central Oregon Community College (COCC).

Fall term classes begin in September. Contact us now and finish your degree. Please note that a minimum of 24 credits must be taken at COCC in order to earn an associate’s degree.

Already have a bachelor’s degree?

  • COCC will need your transcripts to evaluate your writing and math transfer credit (and potentially other courses).
  • In general, students who have completed a bachelor’s degree will have a transfer writing class completed that will likely work your CCI program; however, final determination is made upon receipt of your transcripts.
  • Cascade Culinary Institute programs have traditionally required the Culinary Math course even for students with other math classes on their record. Starting Fall 2024-25, college level math transfer credit will be considered, although the Culinary Math class is still recommended. Plan to talk to an advisor about transfer math credit.
