Quote Icon

I love the Business Management Hospitality and Tourism program because I am learning from faculty who are true leaders in the field. As I approach graduation, I feel confident that I have the education, experience, and leadership skills that I need to succeed.

— Helen Chinn

What I love about Business Management on the hospitality track is that you learn so much about how to run a restaurant, execute an event, or even manage a stadium. When I had to create my own restaurant for restaurant management, I had to design my own menus and create floor plans for my restaurant.

— Dylan Hunter
