Code3420

Associate in Applied Science Degree

The wide range of dynamic opportunities within the growing hospitality industry encompasses career paths within the lodging segment (luxury, convention, all-suite, casino, and resort hotels) and in the foodservice segment (restaurants, catering and institutional foodservice management). Students also study travel and tourism; recreation and leisure management (theme parks, clubs, destination services and resort operations); meeting and event sales, planning, and management; and senior living services, health care and retirement community management and casino and gaming management. The support infrastructure of the hospitality industry, which includes human resources, accounting, purchasing, physical plant maintenance, sales and marketing, and property management, is the final component studied.

The Hospitality Management program provides academic and practical training for those students interested in future management positions and aspiring professionals already employed within the hospitality industry. Transfer opportunities are available for those who wish to complete a Bachelor’s degree in this field.

Students also participate in a paid, one-semester cooperative work experience which delivers valuable practical management and technical training. Selected courses are recognized as National Restaurant Association Professional Management Certificate courses.
