Hospitality Management Course Description

The Hospitality Management Program is a two credit program that gives students the opportunity to learn the hospitality industry through on-site, hands on training.  Students work with the staff members of the Hilton Springfield, Hampton Inn Springfield and Comfort Inn Springfield.  Through shadowing and internship work, students accumulate 140 hours of  training in four departments.  These experiences help to build each student's resume. Classroom activities focus on hotel  operations and marketing.  Guest speakers include hotel and corporate level managers, marketing experts and meeting planners.

Students are required to meet corporate standards in appearance and in actions as they participate in a variety of activities beyond the classroom.  This includes the hotel site training and attending professional industry activities. An annual trip allows students to experience the  resort  aspects of the industry and to see the travel partners  in  action.

Hospitality students become members of DECA, An Association of Marketing Students, which provides opportunities in leadership, competition and community service.
