The major in Hospitality and Tourism Management, which leads to a Bachelor of Science degree, may be completed as a four-year program for entering freshmen or as an upper-division program for transfer students.
The major embodies the civic mission of the College by building integrative communities that serve the needs of our students, neighbors and region by establishing career paths and opportunities for “committed participation” in three distinct, but interconnected areas: Tourism, Hotel Management and Health Care Hospitality. The major places strong emphasis on general well-being of our environment, our neighbors, and visitors to the region. The Tourism concentration emphasizes sustainability at its core, and the health care hospitality concentration focuses on how individuals experience care in medical and non-profit environments. Hospitality and Tourism Management professionals today are not only required to have special knowledge specific to their area of concentration, but also required to have an understanding of the humanities, behavioral sciences, social sciences, and natural sciences. As such, all Hospitality and Tourism Management majors are required to complete 60 liberal arts credits, which are designed to enhance their ability to reason logically, to think critically, to develop a value system and to make decisions ethically. To this end, all majors are required to complete an internship relative to their area of concentration. These pathways will prepare students for a broad range of career opportunities, while meeting the emerging employment needs of Long Island and New York City.
