San Francisco Advantage
We are located in one of greatest culinary and hospitality capitals of the world- San Francisco.

You'll also have the unique opportunity to work with these local establishments during your externship.
But you can't study and train all the time. So when you're not learning your new profession, you can find yourself exploring the Bay Area's amazing natural beauty. Hike. Mountain Bike. Sail. Surf. Even a day spent walking along the water and checking out the views from the Golden Gate Bridge is a day well spent. For the less nature-oriented, San Francisco offers museums, boutiques, art fairs, live music, and even a new baseball stadium. Entertainment options are nearly endless! Learn More.
