While culinary school can be a lot of fun—not to mention very rewarding—it can also be a trying experience that will test you emotionally and physically like nothing else. So, it's important to know what you're getting into.the great thing about a culinary degree is that you can use it to do so much. For example, while you may not be a top chef, you can walk into most top restaurants and get a job (the lowest job on the totem poll, but still, a job and work your way up). Or you can go into catering, media, writing, whatever—the options are really endless, and having a culinary degree makes it easier for you to break in. Below are a list of some community colleges and a four university's with a Culinary Arts program or Hospitality and Tourism program. Either way you choose please do your research on which colleges best fit you.
