BA/BS in Hospitality Administration/Management

Colorado State offers a Bachelor of Science in hospitality and event management within the health and human sciences college, administered by the food science and nutrition department. It readies graduates to lead in lodging, dining, events, travel and tourism. The curriculum touches on running hotels, serving food, planning events, tourism, leadership, marketing, and strategy for business, so students see how the pieces of the industry fit together. Partnerships with employers, internships and applied projects give students a way to gain experience and meet professionals in the field. Classes are held on campus. The major is not competitive to enter, and there is no accelerated route. Admissions schedules campus tours and information sessions at several points in the year, and a recruiter from the college can provide more guidance to prospective students who have questions.
