Instructional Activities, Design and Delivery Mode

The program has been designed to involve students in a variety of learning environments and instructional delivery methods. Throughout the lecture component of the program students participate in lectures, seminars, small group discussions, guest speakers, role plays, hotel and restaurant settings, and computer labs.

Most of the classroom time exposes students to both the theory and practical application of hospitality management concepts and skills. Course projects such as reports and term paper assignments strengthen the understanding of course topics and give students opportunities to apply effective management practices. Guest speakers and guided tours of successful hotels and restaurants will further enhance the program curriculum. Some projects require students to choose their own topic, allowing them to research information and ideas that are of interest and in keeping with their own career goals.

Every student will be required to complete 960 hours of co-op to get a chance to apply the knowledge and skills they’ve received in a professional setting and gain valuable hands-on experience in the field of hospitality.
