Hospitality Management

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 expect of well-educated professionals.
