Hospitality Management

The hospitality management program provides students with an exciting opportunity to learn skills in customer service, decision-making, analysis and planning that are essential for managers and supervisors in one of the fastest growing areas of our economy: hospitality services. Employment opportunities exist for trained staff in all areas of hospitality services including hotels, restaurants, bed and breakfast lodges, country clubs, food service organizations, convention centers, resorts, and spas. The program and objectives were designed by experienced faculty and guided by leaders in successful hotel and restaurant establishments. The associate of applied science degree in hospitality services management provides opportunities for students to learn concepts and practice skills in the classroom and in the workplace.

The general education core courses will transfer to most universities. Most of the courses offered in hospitality will transfer to the Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management at the University of Houston. Under articulation agreements with several area school districts, students taking high school courses in hospitality may earn up to six hours of college credit. Contact a counselor or faculty member for additional information or the recommended sequence of courses.
