Cert in Hospitality Administration/Management

The Hospitality and Tourism certificate teaches tourism and sales, including booking conventions, meetings and seminars, and advertising and promotion. It also covers handling reservations, registering guests, assigning rooms, managing messages, and supplying details on the property, the area or upcoming events. Students who want a better grasp of restaurant dining and banquet work can take two optional courses on managing dining rooms and banquets. The program is a shorter option than the associate degree in hospitality and tourism management, and graduates may transfer into that degree without losing credit. Graduates are qualified for beginner roles in tourism, planning meetings and staffing hotel front desks. Anyone considering the program can open the published degree plan to see what must be completed and in what order, ask the college for more details through an online form, or begin an application straight from the program page, where a named contact handles questions.
