School of Hospitality Administration
The School of Hospitality Administration is a full-time, four-year bachelor degree program. Grounded in the liberal arts, students first fulfill our core curriculum and then take specialized hospitality courses, preparing them for work in this international industry. With the breadth of our curriculum and the way we integrate work experiences into our academic requirements, students here learn the business of managing hotels, food service, travel and tourism, entertainment, and people. This degree program requires students to participate in an international experience as well as 800 hours of field internships.
