Exciting Careers, A Growing
Need
Even as our economy takes the usual dips and turns, job seekers
still can count on opportunities in the booming hospitality and
tourism industry.
Hospitality and tourism has grown by nearly 500% over the past
25 years. In 2003, more than 690 million tourists traveled abroad,
spending more than $423 million.
Over the next few years, experts predict, more than 100 million
people worldwide will hold jobs in hospitality and tourism. In the
U.S. alone, the industry needs some 10,000 new managers every
year.
The Program
You can prepare for these exciting career opportunities through the
acclaimed
Bachelor of Science Degree Program in Hospitality Management at
St. John’s University. Offered through our College of Professional
Studies, the program provides you with the knowledge, skills and
experience to succeed in the industry.
The 126-credit program focuses on the industry’s fundamental
competencies, which are vital for the field’s future managers. And
like all St. John’s students, you will benefit from our core
curriculum in the liberal arts, which gives you the broad
knowledge and strong communications skills that today’s employers
