Founded in 1914, Johnson & Wales is a private university with highly-respected programs in a variety of fields, including engineering technology, arts &sciences, business, education, technology, hospitality, and equine management. But arguably their most prestigious program is its College of Culinary Arts, which was inducted into the Culinary Hall of Fame in 2012. Graduates from the Johnson & Wales College of Culinary Arts include celebrity chefs Tyler Florence, Emeril Lagasse, Graham Eliot, Anna Olson, Scott Leibfried, and Chris Santos. In 2017, Johnson & Wales was ranked among the best universities in the North by US News and World Report.
Johnson & Wales is located in Downtown Providence (often referred to as Downcity) at the corner of Chestnut and Pine Streets. This extremely walkable, urban location is steps away from the city's theaters, restaurants, shops, and museums. Providence was established by an exiled member of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1636, and the historic downtown is filled with elegant Victorian and Federal style architecture. Apartments near Johnson & Wales are plentiful, ranging from sleek, modern high-rises to historic warehouses converted into lofts.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
