Culinary Schools in Alaska

Alaska is one of the most enchanting places in the world to learn how to cook, and if you enroll at top Alaska culinary schools, you can learn how to make the best seafood dishes in the country.

The culinary arts degree is by far the most sought after qualification in this state. Like most programs from Alaska culinary schools, it is designed for both high school graduates and mature students who would like to extend their culinary expertise.

If you have a passion for food but would like to gain restaurant entrepreneurial skills, business-oriented degrees are also available for study.

  • The Alaska Culinary Academy provides students with great accredited courses that usually serve those who are looking to gain entry into the University of Alaska.
  • The University of Alaska as well as the Alaska Pacific University also have a range of programs to train students to become working chefs.
  • If you need a college that teaches business skills with the culinary, the Kodiak College and Kenai Peninsula College have the right courses to get your career on track.

Getting your education in culinary schools is vital to your success as a chef, line chef, baker, caterer, and restaurateur or restaurant manager. However, it is only a part of the bigger picture.

In order to build your career and reputation, you will need to be involved in extra curricular activities such as local cultural food festivals. There are events that are usually hosted by the state. Some examples include the following:

  • Taste of Juneau
  • Taste of Mardi Gras
  • Kodiak Crab Festival

Getting involved, whether as a staffer or submitting your dishes as entries, is an excellent stepping stone to introducing yourself to employers. It’s also a great way to learn more about loved dishes in Alaska.

How to Select the Best Culinary School

The first factor in finding the best institution is accreditation. It’s advisable to find courses that have the recognition of the American Culinary Federation Accrediting Commission.

Accreditation is crucial because it won’t only help you find a job in Alaska, but in the rest of the country and abroad. Accredited courses are likely to give internships or some kind of practical experience as well.

Another invaluable tip to further your career is to look for a culinary association, either in Alaska or in other states, and become a member or volunteer. It is also a great idea to keep up with culinary trends and news especially if you are planning to extend your career, open or manage a restaurant elsewhere. Network with as many professionals as you can while you’re studying.
