In 1969, double-class sessions were initiated to accommodate a backlog of applications, and an auxiliary campus was leased, but with more than 1,000 students and with facilities strained to the maximum, the school's administrators launched a search for a new home. They found it in St. Andrew-on-Hudson, a former Jesuit seminary in Hyde Park, NY.The college purchased the five-story, 150-room building, situated on 80 acres of land overlooking the Hudson River, in 1970 for $1 million. Two years and $4 million in renovations later, the new school opened, with its main building renamed Roth Hall.
In 1971, the Board of Regents of the State of New York granted the CIA a charter to confer an Associate in Occupational Studies (A.O.S.) degree. The new campus offered a trimester program: students entered three times over the course of the year. In 1976, this was replaced by the Progressive Learning Year (PLY) program that enabled smaller groups of 72 students to graduate and enter the industry every three weeks, 16 times a year. A paid externship semester was created, offering students the opportunity to gain on-the-job experience by working in the foodservice industry.
