What to Know About Hospitality and Tourism Management Degree Programs

Hospitality management degrees are designed to train future leaders in the hospitality industry.

How to Study Hospitality Management

Running a company in any segment of the hospitality industry requires not only financial and marketing prowess, but also an understanding of how to create an inviting environment for guests.

The art and science of hosting strangers is an essential skill for people working in many kinds of businesses, including airlines, casinos, cruise ships, festivals, hotels and restaurants.

Running a company in any segment of the hospitality industry requires not only financial and marketing prowess, but also an understanding of how to create an inviting environment for guests. Cultivating that marketable skill set is the goal of associate, bachelor's and graduate programs in hospitality management.

What a Hospitality Management Degree Is and What Classes It Requires

The goal of any course of study in hospitality management is to train people to create and maintain spaces where others will immediately feel at home.

“Understanding how to take care of the customer is a foundational aspect of the hospitality discipline,” Angela Ramsey, senior director of communication at the University of Nevada—Las Vegas William F. Harrah College of Hospitality, explained in an email.

Hospitality management degrees are, foremost, degrees in business, says Michael Sabitoni, chair of the food and beverage management department and the international travel and tourism studies department at Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island. They include classes in accounting, finance, human resources, law and technology, he says.

However, unlike a general business degree, a hospitality degree typically includes specialized coursework focusing on the hospitality industry, such as classes on food service business operations, event management principles, and hotel and resort leadership, Sabitoni says. An overview class about tourism is also typically included in hospitality management programs, and industry internships are often mandatory, he adds.

Many hospitality degree programs require students to participate in experiential learning by helping to operate a student-run hotel or restaurant. They may also contain classes on:

  • Eco-tourism or sustainable travel
  • Global tourism and special considerations involved with international trips
  • Customer service protocols
  • Assessing the quality of guest experiences
  • Specific types of hospitality establishments, such as country clubs, golf courses, resorts, stadiums, timeshares or theme parks
  • Nuances involved in planning certain kinds of events, such as conventions or weddings
  • Concerns that face certain demographics of customers, including women and people of color
  • Various types of tourism, including business trips and visits to cultural destinations or historical sites

Top Undergraduate Schools With Hospitality Management Majors

Many U.S. colleges and universities allow undergraduates to major in hospitality management, including multiple nationally renowned academic institutions. Cornell University of New York, an Ivy League college, has a school devoted to hospitality.

Exceptional hospitality programs are often based in major metropolitan areas that attract significant tourism. For example, New York University and Boston University in Massachusetts offer a hospitality management degree.

How to Know if a Hospitality Management Degree Is Right for You

An interest in the food and beverage sector, a love for travel or an interest in entertaining people may lead someone to consider pursuing a degree in hospitality management. But prospective students should be aware that the hospitality sector has leadership roles for people with all kinds of interests and personalities.

Though some managerial positions in the hospitality industry are customer-facing jobs that require significant people skills, there are also back-of-the-house managerial jobs that concentrate on logistics, Sabitoni says.

Significant cultural awareness and strong communication abilities are essential in hospitality. Foreign language skills are also valuable but not mandatory, Sabitoni says.

What You Can Do With a Hospitality Management Degree

Hospitality programs are designed to train future leaders in the sector.

“It can include anything within the hospitality vertical, from hotel investment companies to real estate firms to our big brands which are the Marriotts, the Hiltons, the Four Seasons, to data analytics companies to Googles to Amazons,” says Kate Walsh, dean of the Peter and Stephanie Nolan School of Hotel Administration at Cornell. “Anything that touches hospitality as a part of their business product is something where our students get involved.”

Real estate investment firms often invest in hotel buildings, so people with degrees in hospitality management sometimes find jobs in the real estate sector, Walsh says. Alumni of hospitality management programs sometimes become management consultants who concentrate on assisting companies in the hospitality industry, she adds.

Executive and director roles in the industry typically require at least a bachelor's degree. Many high-level leadership positions at U.S. hospitality firms pay annual salaries above $70,000, according to an article published by Monster.com, a job website.

In 2020, graduates of Cornell's Nolan School had an average base salary of slightly over $69,000 and an average bonus of nearly $15,000, according to the school's employment report .

Considerations for Potential Hospitality Students

Aspiring hospitality managers should be aware of trends that may affect them when they enter the industry, experts say.

This sector has severe labor shortages at hotels and restaurants, many of which laid off workers due to pandemic-related safety measures and now have struggled to replace those workers even after raising wages.

Because of these staffing concerns, many hospitality companies have introduced initiatives to recruit and retain talented staff, improve working conditions, increase job satisfaction and reduce employee turnover, Walsh says.

When comparing hospitality programs, prospective students should investigate whether those programs include experiential learning opportunities, experts say, noting that hands-on projects are one of the best ways to gain hospitality skills. It’s also optimal if hospitality schools offer courses on design, which can inform aesthetic choices about how a hospitality venue looks, according to experts.

“I think the industry needs innovative thinkers," Walsh says. "They need people who think big culturally, who are comfortable with different modes of work, so it’s a great time to join the industry. The industry is trying to be extremely intentional in providing compelling career paths.”

Year 1 - bsc (hons), business environment.

Businesses do not exist in isolation. They must operate within a complex and sometimes turbulent environment. The key forces facing businesses are economic, political, technological, demographic, social-cultural, ethical as well as ecological environments. This module examines the influences of various external environments at local, national and international levels on business organisations.

TOURISM AND SOCIETY

This module develops students’ understanding of the roles tourism plays within and for societies, thereby widening students’ global and cultural capabilities. The module gives students an introductory overview of the history and origins of tourism, its contemporary nature, the inequalities that characterise it and the possibilities for social justice and social sustainability through maximising tourism’s positive societal outcomes. On the basis of theoretical concepts drawn from sociology, anthropology, leisure and tourism studies, the module provides students with a more critical awareness of the relationships between tourism and society, supported by international case study examples and opportunities for critical debate.

FUNDAMENTALS OF SERVICE DELIVERY

All managers in service industries need to be able to understand, analyse and improve the processes for which they are responsible. In order to be able to do this effectively they need to understand the nature and purpose of the service concept and the fundamental ways processes and people deliver this.

THE TRAVEL AND TOURISM INDUSTRY

The travel and tourism industry comprises several main sectors, e.g., accommodation, visitor attractions, travel distribution, and sub-sectors of transportation including aviation, cruise, land-based transport and transport infrastructure. This module focuses on the economic and operational characteristics of each sector and sub-sector, and the ways in which they interact in the production of travel and tourism products and services.

TOURISM MANAGEMENT

During the 20th century tourism has developed into one of the major activities and industries in the world and it looks set to continue its global importance in the new century. Against this background there is a need to consider the context to this development and to appreciate the current position and influences on the demand for tourism. With this background, students will be able to understand the nature of the industry and its management issues.

FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING IN SERVICE INDUSTRIES

This module is intended to provide an introduction to financial accounting. It is aimed at students who are not majoring in accounting or finance but who are studying an introductory level of accounting and finance as part of their programme in management and is particularly focused on students specialising in the Hospitality, Tourism and Events sectors.

SERVICES MARKETING

Services industries are a driving force of value creation. Nowadays nearly every product has a service component and as such service businesses are increasingly dominant forces in the global economy. Services are intangible, consumed at the time of their production, cannot be stored, and standardization is a challenge. This module is designed to provide students with an understanding of the challenges service organizations face due to service characteristics, consumer behaviour, and a dynamic and increasingly challenging global environment. This module introduces the core principles of services marketing and consumer behaviour considering service characteristics. In doing so students will be dealing with a variety of marketing topics allowing them to appreciate the complexity of the topic as well as relevant theories and models service providers can take advantage of in terms of managing the service experience for their customers. To emphasize the applicability of service and consumer behaviour theories to various fields this module is divided into two parts: First, general principles of services marketing and consumer behaviour are covered. Second, industry (i.e., tourism, events, or hospitality) specific theory and applications are introduced. In an increasingly customer centered environment this module will provide an understanding about theories, approaches and techniques concerning how to attract and retain customers while dealing with challenges due to services characteristics and changing consumer behaviour. The module also creates an opportunity to facilitate 'real life' decision-making and enhances a wide range of study skills, such as independent research, analytical skills as well as critical thinking. As such the goal is to contribute to resourcefulness and resilience and to develop digital capabilities linked to the topics covered. Consequently, students develop skills relevant for employability.

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM AND TRANSPORT

The module will follow the process of a sustainability management system to show students the process that organisations need to follow to identify and address the sustainability impacts that their organisation is responsible for. In doing so, we will review the impacts that the tourism and transport industries are causing directly or indirectly, and the opportunities for organisational change to acknowledge and address such impacts.

Year 2 - BSc (Hons)

Managing organisations and human resources.

The module introduces students to the principles of organisational behaviour and human resource management.  It encourages them to identify the relevance of these principles for practice in different sectors.  In particular, it will focus on the ways in which an understanding of human behaviour can help in the management of others and self.  It will examine fundamental individual and group processes and the ways in which these inform the policies and practices of people management.

TOURISM POLICY AND DEVELOPMENT

The successful development of tourism depends on the relationship between the public and private sectors. A key element in this is the development of policies for tourism that can meet the needs of the stakeholders and establish planning goals and instruments. This module explores these policies, considers their formulation and their role in tourism development.

APPLIED FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT IN SERVICES

The prime motivator is to equip students with a good and meaningful understanding of hospitality/tourism/events finance and accounting.

Other entities that shape the global airline industry will also be covered such as air cargo, alliances, IT and ancillary revenues. The wider value chain of airports is also encapsulated into the module exploring the Aeronautical and Non-aeronautical commercial aspects of the business. The module gives an exciting and illuminating insight into the global air transport industry.

INTERCULTURAL MANAGEMENT IN HOSPITALITY & TOURISM

This module is designed to provide students with an understanding of the way hospitality and tourism operations necessitate the adoption of a cultural approach to management. Understanding different theories, approached and proven practices will allow students to analyse situations where the business environment have been compromised by deficient cultural approaches. Mastering the managerial skills required for efficient cultural diversity, with a broad understanding of how it applies to business objectives, is of paramount importance within this module. The outcomes ensure that students have a clear idea of the inherent considerations involved with managerial decision-making, and their cultural consequences.

UNDERSTANDING HOTEL REVENUE MANAGEMENT

This module is designed to develop an understanding of revenue management (RM) in the international hotel industry. This has become a major strategic tool in the successful operation of these businesses. The module provides an overview of the RM, looking all aspects of this activity from a variety of perspectives – strategic, marketing, operations and human resources.

DIGITAL MARKETING IN TOURISM, HOSPITALITY AND EVENTS

This module introduces students to the key issues, strategies and practices of marketing in the digital environment of tourism, hospitality and events. With the rapid rise in the use of the Internet and new media technologies, there are a number of digital tools and technologies available to marketing managers. This module provides students with an understanding of the importance and the application of digital marketing in general and social media in particular. It is vital for tourism, hospitality and event enterprises to acknowledge that consumers are now co-marketers, co-designers, and co-producers of travel experiences and that it is essential to take advantage of consumers as a source of knowledge for innovations and experience design in order to be able to compete in an increasingly competitive and transparent environment. The module therefore deals with how firms can utilize digital marketing and related channels and communication modes to enhance networking, collaboration, and travelers' engagement with services provided by tourism, hospitality or event organizations.

DIGITAL INNOVATION AND DATA ANALYTICS

Digital innovation and data analytics are regarded as key for the development of enterprises, destinations and the services sector including hospitality, tourism, transport and events. Being aware of available technologies and being able to use data to extract patterns and generate insights to support strategic decision making are important for enterprises to be able to create innovative solutions to business problems and compete in an increasingly competitive and transparent environment. As such, awareness about digital innovation and data analytics as well as the ability to judge the quality of interfaces are vital to succeed in the social and economic business environment within the services sector, including hospitality, tourism, transport, and events. This module provides students with an understanding of the importance of digital innovation and data analytics in the services sector. It involves a critical reflection on contemporary strategies, concepts and ideas that currently shape hospitality, tourism, transport and event practices.

It provides an integrated approach in two main ways. First, it synthesises literature from a wide range of theoretical perspectives including natural hazards, geography, transport accidents and disasters, crisis public relations, communication and knowledge management theory. It aims to integrate these often-disparate fields to build understanding and the future development of knowledge in the tourism and transport field to enable our students to understand this complex area, enhance their digital capabilities and resourcefulness and resilience, and apply their learning in future employment towards a more resilient and sustainable tourism and transport industry.

CRUISE INDUSTRY AND SEA TRANSPORT

The cruise industry is a dynamic and evolving form of tourism. The market for cruises is complex and cruise companies have been inventive in designing products to attract different market segments. This module will examine the growing demand for cruise holidays and explore the supply-side of the market, which is characterised by the innovative development of a myriad of cruise ship designs. This module will also investigate other forms of sea transport, such as ferries, hydrofoils and catamarans, to enable students to gain a deep knowledge and understanding of the passenger elements of the international maritime industry.

OPERATIONS ANALYSIS

An important part of the manager’s job is to be able to identify and respond to problems that occur in hospitality operations and to take corrective action to return the operation to an appropriate position. This module builds on the student’s understanding of key concepts and allows them to apply that understanding to a realistic and constantly changing scenario.

TOURISM FIELDTRIP

The module is centred on an international field trip with the objective to provide the opportunity for students to experience first hand the complex practices and processes involved in tourist destination marketing, management, planning and development.

Year 3 - BSc (Hons)

These assessment tasks will enhance the digital capabilities and employability skills of students. Building on knowledge, concepts, theories and frameworks which students became familiar within previous modules e.g. MAN3165, this module covers a wide range of transport policies and plans covering various transport modes globally. The critical thinking of students will evolve through engagement with topics about contemporary policy and planning priorities such as innovation, digital transport, resilience, sustainability, equity and justice among others. By covering fundamental principles of transport planning and policy by policy makers and practitioners, students will develop key capabilities to review, evaluate and develop future-proof transport plans and policies shaping the tourism industry.

DESTINATION MANAGEMENT

Destination management organizations (DMOs) and convention bureaux operate in a complex environment. They need to act as change agents and embrace social responsibility, sustainability, and stewardship. Destination management must be understood as building and sustaining partnerships between society, businesses, and governments, which makes destination management a highly complex area of study. This module aims to develop students¿ ability to critically explore and evaluate the key principles and characteristics of destination management. It aims to explore the essential components of destination management, including stakeholders and partnerships, governance structures, leadership, event strategies, sense of place, and performance evaluation.
