Business Administration with Hospitality Management (B.S.)

Description

The B.S. in Business Administration with Hospitality Management program is designed to meet the needs of entry-level hospitality workers who aspire to management positions within the hotel, tourism and hospitality industries. These industries have evolved from single hotels with minimal amenities to destination resorts with multiple restaurants, entertainment venues, and supportive services. Working in one of the few industries remaining where an employee can start in an entry level position and rise to a management position, today’s hospitality executive needs the functional and project management skills to thrive and succeed in this multifaceted industry. The major provides students with the necessary background to be able to manage individual and chain hotels, including everything from the entertainment to the transportation facets of the business.
