Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Hotel and Restaurant Management] From Niagara University

The hotel and restaurant management degree program at Niagara University prepares students for management careers in the global hospitality industry. The curriculum is based on a dynamic business environment core developed with specialized emphasis on the unique technological, managerial, and analytical requirements of managers and executives in the hotel and restaurant industries. Hotel and restaurant industry recruiters stress the need for our graduates to posses both theoretical and practical skills and experiences. Accordingly, the HRM curriculum specifically addresses the delicate balance between these two critical areas of learning. Many courses offer a practical component. Case studies are utilized throughout the curriculum as are technology-based projects. Integrated throughout the curriculum is an emphasis on globalization, leadership and technological advances in hotels and restaurants.?

Moreover, students are able to enhance their study of the major through the selection of both a concentration and focus. Each HRM major selects a concentration and each concentration allows a selection from two focus areas. This maximizes student choice, allowing more breadth and depth in the curriculum.

HRM students selecting a concentration in hotel planning, development and operations can select a focus from: operational planning and control or property development; HRM students with a concentration in food and beverage management can select a focus from: entrepreneurship or food and beverage operations management; and HRM students concentrating in luxury hospitality operations can select a focus from: resort and spa management or club management.
