The hotel and resort management degree is designed for students with a career interest in the lodging and resort industries.  These fields represent a wide range of businesses, from the small country inn or bed and breakfast to multinational chains of hotels and resorts.  Management opportunities exist in front-office operations, food and beverage management, banquet-meeting sales, human resources, facilities management, and more.

The curriculum is balanced between career-specific courses such as Cost Controls for the Hospitality Industry and liberal arts courses such as Standard Freshman Composition.  Upon graduation, students will be prepared to enter the workforce or continue their education.

Admissions Procedures and Requirements

Students applying directly from high school should have successfully completed Math A or its equivalent, one laboratory science, and four years of English.  Students are admitted in the fall semester, with most students meeting minimum standards being accepted.
