Once variety was the spice of life, but now it is the norm. From business to entertainment people want things their way.  And why should a school educating individuals be any different?  Luckily, the University of Alaska’s Culinary Arts, Hospitality, Dietetics & Nutrition Division grants students the specialized programs that suit their respective needs and culminates in a B.A. in Hospitality and Restaurant Management. It is the only program in the state of Alaska to offer a Bachelor’s Degree in Hospitality. As such, graduates are prepared to enter directly into management positions in Alaska’s growing hospitality environment.

Students can choose whether to complete substantial portions of their degree online or in person on campus.  They also have the option to take focused coursework in nutrition studies.  Alaska students also have a wide plethora of local hotels and other resorts to choose from when deciding where to spend their 600 hour, paid internship. Students get hands-on training at the Lucy Cuddy Dining facility, which is a bakery, restaurant, and dining room. The school puts a large emphasis on the culinary arts, and offers Culinary Arts, Dietetics and Nutrition programs–the only such programs in the state.
