Abstract
This paper presents a model to evaluate the curriculum of a gastronomy undergraduate program in Turkey. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method and fuzzy logic are applied to determine the educational performances of the curriculum courses. The evaluation was made by considering the perspectives reflecting the educational vision of the gastronomy department. The results reveal that each course contributes differently to various perspectives of gastronomy education, a number of courses may be removed from the curriculum, and the status of certain courses should be changed. The model is also effective in comparing the different curricula that provide the same education.
