The hospitality industry is the number one employer in Atlantic County. This degree, coupled with experience prepares students for management careers in hospitality including hotels, restaurants, casinos, and other hospitality and tourism related businesses.
In addition to hotel management courses, students are exposed to a variety of courses in business administration, which enable them to make appropriate business decisions.
In their final semester, students are required to complete a mandatory 135-hour internship in a hospitality-related business.
Many classes are scheduled in three-hour blocks to reduce travel time. Transfer credits are accepted pending approval from the Admissions Office. The degree can be earned part-time.
