Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts
History
Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts was founded by Brown College in 1999. The school began offering a Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Program that year, the first to be offered in North America. It started as a Certificate Program and began offering Associate in Applied Science degrees in 2002. An Associate in Applied Science in Patisserie & Baking was added the following year. These programs were strictly offered through Brown College until 2005.[citation needed]
In 2005, the Brown College degree programs were transformed into a new institution: Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts Minneapolis/St. Paul. The school was a branch campus of Western Culinary Institute in Portland, Oregon.[3] In December 2015, students allegedly received an email declaring that the institution would stop enrolling students in the Spring 2016 semester, and that the school would close by September 2017.[4] According to a final update to the branch's website, "LCB stopped accepting applications from re-entering former students effective April 29, 2016."[5]
