Why choose a specialization in Hospitality Management?

A multi-billion dollar industry, hospitality employs nearly 9.5 million people in the U.S. alone. Faced with major impacts to the industry – a retiring baby boomer demographic (with the means and potential to travel) and a shrinking workforce – the potential for jobs in the hospitality industry is vast.

A degree specialization in hospitality management can open the door for career opportunities in hotels, restaurants, theme parks, attractions, night clubs, food service facilities, private clubs, and cruise ships. With hospitality entities worldwide, the opportunities are endless. A career in hospitality can provide highly competitive wages in a fun and exciting environment.
