Introduction
In this lesson, students will research different universities or tech schools that offer culinary degrees (associate's or /and bachelor's). Students will use the websites of at least three different culinary colleges to obtain the information needed to complete this assignment.
In this WebQuest, you will research different culinary colleges to see what they offer. Research at least three colleges or tech schools to decide your options after high school and what you might want to do after graduation.
Task
You will research what different colleges or tech schools offer culinary and compare them to each other. Then, you will decide which school is best for you and your future needs. You will be required to create a PowerPoint presentation documenting your choice.

After high school, you will research different websites to find important facts about culinary career options.

You will research your top three schools and find out the following information for each:
