Providence, Rhode Island, USA: Since it's opening in 1914, Johnson & Wales University's first and largest campus has been in Providence, RI, a dynamic and growing city in southern New England. Providence is one hour to Boston and 4 hours to New York by car.

Named one of the "hot" places to live in the United States by NEWSWEEK, Providence is a central point of many world cultures with a hit new television series in its name. Movie producers have been coming to Providence in great numbers to shoot on location for movies such as Amistad, Meet Joe Black, There's Something About Mary, and Me, Myself and Irene.

North Miami, Florida, USA: Our campus in the city of North Miami is another measure of our dramatic growth in the past 25 years.
