Cheating by students is a problem in academic institutions. The purpose of this study was to assess how likely or unlikely senior students studying: food service, hospitality, tourism and culinary arts would participate in certain types of academic dishonesty behaviors. Although the problem is well known, few studies have looked at students perceptions of individual cheating behaviors. College senior students studying food service, hospitality, tourism and culinary arts at three colleges were contacted via their professors. Statistical analysis was done to test for significant differences between gender and academic institute of the survey population. Significant differences were found. Results of this pilot study may help to better understand the cheating behaviors of food service, hospitality, tourism and culinary arts students. Further research into how these behaviors impact the careers of these students after they graduate and take jobs in the fields of culinary, hotel, restaurant and tourism.
