Purpose
Hospitality management is an area of specialization designed
to prepare students for managerial positions in the hospitality
industry. The program is designed to provide students
with a sound education in the fundamentals of business
administration and to focus on specific hospitality-related
content.
Included
in the program of study are two "real world"
experiences to give students exposure to the multi-billion
dollar hospitality industry. The experience and exposure
