Hospitality Business (B.S.)

The hospitality and tourism industry is one of the largest employers in the United States. Globally, it’s even bigger, according to the American Hotel & Lodging Association. In many countries, in fact, hospitality is virtually the only industry and essential to the local economy.

That’s why Southern New Hampshire University has a program devoted to preparing students for careers in this burgeoning field. The language of hospitality is universal and hospitality education is preparing professionals to grow, sustain and lead this industry.

SNHU’s hospitality business program not only prepares you for management careers in the field, it also equips you with the expertise to become a successful entrepreneur or small business owner. Our unique facilities, diversely experienced faculty and practical curriculum will provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to become a leader in this industry.

You also can focus your hospitality business knowledge with concentrations in restaurant management and hotel and convention management.

Students graduate with more than a great education.

Students in our hospitality business program acquire a depth and breadth of knowledge that prepares them for a host of careers in such fields as lodging, food service, club management, and the airline and cruise industries. But they also graduate with meaningful credentials – academic and professional portfolios and 1,000 hours of solid, hands-on field experience that ensures they leave SNHU confidently prepared for entry-level management jobs.

Since SNHU faculty and alumni provide a powerful network, with terrific industry connections, it’s not surprising that 90 percent of hospitality graduates have already lined up jobs when they graduate.
