Plus the skills learned in the industry are readily transferable to other countries around the world, so I can potentially work while traveling in the future.\u00a0 I chose BU SHA because it&#8217;s a smaller sized program, so I knew I would get a more hands on learning experience. Boston is also the perfect place to learn hospitality management because it&#8217;s a major tourism destination with plenty of work opportunities.\u00a0 The MMH curriculum prepared me for the &#8216;real world.&#8217; The degree was the reason I was able to get a management-level job right after graduating. It set my resume apart and is something I can always use as leverage in the future when negotiating employment terms.\u00a0 The best part about the MMH program was the use of technology. All of my professors made a point to integrate current tech into the classroom, which has helped me transition into my career. I also enjoyed working with local hospitality companies for my class projects.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":17001,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hospitality\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/6327"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hospitality\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hospitality\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hospitality\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17001"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hospitality\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/6327\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6330,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hospitality\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/6327\/revisions\/6330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hospitality\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
