Mission Statement
  MMCI will provide comprehensive training in cuisine and pastry to culinary professionals and enthusiasts. The curriculum is based on European cuisine with an emphasis on French, Italian and Spanish techniques.’’ ‘’Mariano Moreno Institute (ISMM) was created in 1963 in the City of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Founded by Mr. Roberto Sade, a visionary in the academic business, the Institute started as a journalism school, becoming the first school of journalism in Buenos Aires. It is named after Mariano Moreno who was the founder of the Gazeta de Buenos Aires, the first newspaper of the city. ISMM is devoted exclusively to educational activities, and is currently recognized as one of the leading educational institutes. With over 50 years of experience it has managed to expand into various sectors of education, such as: Culinary Arts, Computer, Fashion Design, and Accelerated High School for adults among others. Since 2000 the Mariano Moreno Culinary Institute (MMCI)* has been setting the standard of excellence in professional culinary education, positioning itself as one of the best schools in Latin America. The mission of the MMCI is to promote worldwide appreciation of culinary arts and encourage excellence in the food business at all levels. Every academic year the Institute of Culinary Arts welcomes hundreds of students in its Buenos Aires location. The Institute has also established five schools in Colombia, three in Mexico, in Venezuela, one in Ecuador, one in Dominican Republic and one in United States where its knowledge and expertise has resulted in great recognition for the school and its graduates. Its excellent reputation, outstanding professionals, and facilities have made it possible to partner with internationally recognized culinary schools, such as “Paul Bocuse Lyon Culinary Arts Institute”. International partnerships like this allow its students to participate in more culturally diverse experiences and expose them to the highly competitive world.

  • Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state/local government, or institutional grant or scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance for the institution's largest program. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees, books and supplies, and the weighted average for room and board and other expenses for the institutions largest program. If the total length of program is greater than the academic year length, the total cost of attendance is adjusted for the academic year and the average net price is for the academic year. For programs that are less than the academic year length, the total cost of attendance and the average net price are for the entire length of the program.
  • Beginning students are those who are entering postsecondary education for the first time.
  • Title IV aid to students includes grant aid, work study aid, and loan aid. These include: Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG), National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent Grant (National SMART Grant), Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant, Federal Work-Study, Federal Perkins Loan, Subsidized Direct or FFEL Stafford Loan, and Unsubsidized Direct or FFEL Stafford Loan. For those Title IV recipients, net price is reported by income category and includes students awarded federal aid even if none of that aid was provided in the form of grants. While Title IV status defines the cohort of student for which the data are reported, the definition of net price remains the same – total cost of attendance minus grant aid.

First-to-Second Year Retention Rates

Overall Graduation Rate and Transfer-Out Rate

The overall graduation rate is also known as the "Student Right to Know" or IPEDS graduation rate. It tracks the progress of students who began their studies as full-time, first-time degree- or certificate-seeking students to see if they complete a degree or other award such as a certificate within 150% of "normal time" for completing the program in which they are enrolled.

Some institutions also report a transfer-out rate, which is the percentage of the full-time, first-time students who transferred to another institution without completing at the current institution.

Note that not all students at the institution are tracked for these rates. Students who have already attended another postsecondary institution, or who began their studies on a part-time basis, are not tracked for this rate.

Graduation Rates by Time to Completion

Graduation rates can be measured over different lengths of time. "Normal time" is the typical amount of time it takes full-time students to complete their program. For example, the "normal" amount of time for many associate's degree programs is 2 years. Not all students complete within the normal time, so graduation rates are measured by other lengths of time as well, including "150% of normal time" (e.g., 3 years for a 2-year program) and "200% of normal time," or twice as long as the normal time (e.g., 4 years for a 2-year program).
