University of Alaska Anchorage (Culinary Arts Program)




The Culinary Arts program provides essential training in the ever-expanding food service industry.

Hospitality and tourism are two of the world’s leading industries, and are the largest retail employers in the U.S. with annual expenditures of more than 2 trillion dollars. The number of people employed by this industry in the U.S. alone currently totals over 12.5 million people. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts this figure to rise to 14.4 million by 2016. The industry’s employment base, which includes significant numbers of women and minorities, is the largest of any industry in the private sector.

Management positions in many food service organizations offer high salaries and excellent advancement opportunities.
