Courses
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. For dual credit students several area school districts offer high school courses in hospitality and can earn up to six hours of college credit. As part of the degree curriculum, students will enroll in cooperative education (paid internship) where they will have the opportunity to practice classroom skills in the workplace.

Beginning salaries depend on your skills, education, and the level you start at within a hotel or restaurant, but earnings can range from entry-level wages to six figures according to the American Hotel and Lodging Educational Institute.
