Building Skills for Success: The Foundation of the MMH Degree

For students with a strong business or liberal arts background, the MMH degree enhances and builds upon their existing management skills and prepares them to begin a career in hospitality leadership here in the United States or across the globe. Professionals currently working in the hospitality industry gain the necessary knowledge and skills to advance their careers and become a top competitor in the evolving industry.

The School of Hospitality (SHA) anchors the MMH degree in the industry’s building blocks, before students select a specialized concentration geared toward an advanced, highly focused role. Ensuring students know the industry’s ins and outs, the MMH degree examines upper-level operations and management principles for hotels and restaurants through a holistic yet heavily analytical lens.

During the program, students acquire the skills to improve a hospitality establishment’s day-to-day and big-picture operations. From a financial angle, students learn business-relative accounting concepts, including how these functions make up common financial reports and affect planning and decision-making. The program additionally introduces traditional and digital marketing techniques to aid students in improving revenue, profits, and customer loyalty and adjusting to modern trip-planning and booking strategies.
