Is there an AP Culinary course?

Hi, I'm really passionate about cooking and I was wondering if the College Board offers an AP Culinary course like they do for other subjects. Thoughts?

Unfortunately, the College Board does not currently offer an AP Culinary course or examination. Their AP courses and exams mainly focus on academic subjects like math, sciences, history, arts, world languages, and English.

However, if you're passionate about cooking, you can still explore this interest through extracurricular activities or through your school's elective courses if they offer culinary classes. You can also participate in local cooking clubs, workshops, or classes offered by community centers. Additionally, you can always try to gain experience by cooking at home, developing a food blog, or sharing your recipes on social media. These experiences can be valuable, and some selective colleges might appreciate your dedication to enhancing your culinary skills even if there isn't an AP course available for it.

In your college application, you can discuss your passion for cooking in your personal statement or supplemental essays, showcasing how you have pursued this interest outside of school. Colleges often value students with unique skills and passions like cooking.
