The University of Georgia has a pretty good Food Science program.  The guy that came up with Lipton Brisk Iced Tea was a graduate of UGA's program.

If you know what you want to do, like become a chef, I would definitely recommend getting specific training.  It is so much more beneficial in this kind of area to have practical work experience and training than more general, less applicable training like a liberal arts degree.  I love my liberal arts degree, an have enjoyed (and hated at times) the last four years, but I really don't think it's training so much as a way to find out what exactly you do want to do, what exactly you do think about the world, and really, I learned how much I don't know.  So, if you are thinking about specific jobs, I think that specific training is best so you get where you want to be faster and can see more of a purpose in what your learning and you get good jobs in that area.   I thnk that you sound very level headed and have a good idea about what works and doesn't work for you, so I say good luck and just stick with what you like to do, and pick programs that will emphasize these aspects.  Good Luck!

I know that Hawk Circle - link below - offers courses that are worth college credit in affiliated colleges.\n\nI'm not sure exactly what outdoors skills you are looking to master - but the staff at Hawk Circle are hands down, the most knowledgeable, ethical people I know.

What do you do for fun?  Try to make a career out of your favorite hobby.  I was majoring in psychology (which I had wanted to do since I was about 15), and a semester into college I realized it was not for me.  I changed to an "undecided" major and stayed in school for another 2 semesters before realizing that I was in the wrong place.  I transfered to a small art school and moved back in with my parents.  I'm one quarter away from graduating with my culinary arts degree and I couldn't be happier.  Don't look for a program that fits you, figure out what it is that you're good at, and then figure out what you have to do to make a living at it.

Cornish College of the Arts is a small, private school that I think has a better academic reputation. The Seattle Art Institute is part of chain across the country and seems to be more vo-tech in orientation, readying students for careers in commercial art and cooking.

There are very few schools that offer a bachelors degree in culinary arts.  School is a great way to learn instead of learning as you go in restaurants. But it doesn't guarantee that you'll be paid more though many schools have programs to place recent grads in jobs with more experienced alumni, many of whom know what it's like paying back those loans. The best known on the east coast are C.I.A.(Culinary Institute of America), Johnson and Wales, and New England Culinary Institute.

London South Bank University has a course in bakery. You can check out their site http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/nbs/\n\nThe faculty is called National Bakery School; the School's reputation is international with many of its 'old' students becoming heads of bakeries throughout the world.\n\nIt may be a bit costly, depending where you come from. For international students,  tuition fee is currently £5,125 per academic year (includes examination costs). So, just multiply for a 2-yr fulltime course!\n\nThere's also the Le Cordon Bleu in Australia boasting global leader in culinary and management education. Many South East Asians study there. Their web add is http://www.lcbaustralia.com/pa/index.cfm\n\nIts Sydney Programme for basic Patisserie course amounts to  7,500.00 AU$ ( Roughly 20mth course)\n\nYou need to translate them into your currency.\n\nGood luck, chef!

You are not the only girl with this problem! BUT you have the courage to know what you need to know! Loads of places offer cooking courses.....depends where you live......I don´t know so I can´t tell you exactly where to look but schools have evening classes and women´s centres will know other places.\n\nIf you have a older woman friend or relative then ask her too because women love sharing their skills with other and younger women. Don´t be ashamed to ask because we all have to learn and none of us is born able to cook!!  Have fun and be bold...you have been bold enough to ask!
