Why Hospitality Management?
 
Modern hotels, resorts, restaurants, and convention centers are 
huge, intricate, and diverse business entities. We can only imagine 
the confusion that would ensue if capable professionals weren't 
running them. A major in Hospitality Management
will prepare you for a career managing these kinds of places. 

The hospitality program is very professionally oriented in nature. 
They integrate management theory with practical business 
knowledge. If you major in Hospitality, you'll also learn quite a 
bit about basic nutrition and food theory, marketing, statistics, 
and even geography. One of the best things about Hospitality 
programs is that they frequently incorporate one or more internships 
into their curriculums as well - in fancy restaurants, major hotels, 
and resorts. In an internship, you'll gain on-the-job experience in 
real-world work situations in food production, human resources 
and employee relations, public relations, and management. This 
kind of experience will serve you well in your first job and - probably 
more importantly - it will be a great help to you in getting your first 
job.
