<p>Johnson and Wales have moved their Charleston, SC to Charlotte, NC....Beautiful new facilities--amidst the thousands of bankers you see walking around in uptown Charlotte are lots of people in white w/ various colored neck-kerchiefs! They offer bachelors degrees in other things besides culinary arts---you may check into their requirements---With their bachelors program, they may have general requirements that you could transfer your credits from Florida Atlantic. </p>
<p>My sister-in-law went through their program (when it was still in Charleston) and loved it. She worked as a pastry chef in S.C. (In Charleston, also spent time on Hilton Head). For family purposes, they returned to our small home town in central Illinois. She took over the local bakery (which had been selling the same greasy donuts for about 50 years), and tried to branch out. Unfortunately, most of the customer base preferred the greasy donuts (they were REALLY tasty, btw!) to her fancy cakes. She worked her butt off, and finally gave it up. (Not much profit in 50-cent donuts). She now drives a school bus :) , and bakes most of the wedding cakes in the county. She really is an accomplished baker---I often wonder what would have happened had they stayed in the Charleston area (or someplace more metropolitan)....</p>
<p>Anyway, good luck missybear. You know that you are building a strong base w/ the honors program--and at the right price!</p>
