Hey y'all! I'm big into hospitality and I've been thinking it'd be awesome to combine that with an HBCU experience. Do any HBCUs offer strong programs in hospitality management that are recognized in the industry?
Certainly, it's fantastic that you're looking to pursue your passion in hospitality management at an HBCU.
A well-known HBCU with a strong program in this field is Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida. They offer a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management, and their program is designed to provide students with a strong foundation for leadership roles in the hospitality industry.
Another HBCU to consider is Howard University in Washington, D.C., which has a well-respected program that prepares students for the dynamic hospitality sector. Also, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore offers a notable hospitality-tourism management program, accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Programs in Hospitality Administration.
These schools have good connections with the industry and alumni networks that could be beneficial for internships and job placement after graduation. Be sure to visit their websites, reach out to their admissions departments, and, if possible, talk to current students or faculty to get a better sense of what each program offers!
