What Can I Do with a Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management?
The hospitality industry is enormous. When you count everything from hotels, restaurants, and resorts to amusement parks, convention halls, stadiums, casinos, country clubs, and spas, you can understand why some consider hospitality/tourism/travel to be the world's largest industry. Government studies predict that over the next ten years, there will be a boom in management positions in lodging, food service, tourism, recreation, and sports facilities-twice the expected overall rate for employment growth.
At Northern Arizona University, you will have close access to faculty from one of the top hotel and restaurant management programs in the country. In a rigorous yet collaborative environment, you will immerse yourself in management courses, technical training, and liberal arts studies. Students are required to complete two semesters of a modern language and work 1200 hours in some capacity in a hospitality establishment. Supervised external internships are also available.
