Students in the Hospitality Management program benefit from the
extensive academic and professional resources provided by a faculty
with connections throughout the industry.
Internships are an integral part of the
program. Through the faculty’s strong connections, students gain
practical experience — and confidence — in the hotel, restaurant,
travel and tourism industries. Internships are recommended as

Students also gain a personal and professional
edge by joining any of St. John's more than 180 student
clubs and organizations, including the Hospitality
Management Organization. This official
representative body for
all majors offers academic and social activities to
strengthen the link between coursework and the hospitality and
tourism industries.
Honor societies include The College of
Professional Studies Honor Society, which recognizes
undergraduates who demonstrate academic excellence as well as
involvement in campus, church or community activities.
Students in the program have access
to the outstanding academic resources for which St. John’s is
known. All new students receive their own wireless laptop
computer with full access to St. John’s award-winning
