Hospitality Management (BAS)
The Bachelor of Applied Science in Hospitality Management combines the technical skills and business proficiency necessary for success in today’s business world. A unique program, the B.A.S. allows students who have already earned an associate of applied science degree to build upon their technical specialties with Essential Learning courses and junior and senior level business courses. This allows associate of applied science degree holders to gain a 4-year degree in approximately four additional full-time semesters, depending upon prior coursework.
Business courses to be taken include courses in marketing, promotion, management, accounting, finance, small business management and entrepreneurship. Upon completion of the program, students will be technically and academically prepared for leadership positions in the hospitality industry. Potential employment opportunities with this 4-year degree include management in any of the following areas: resort and hotel management, food and beverage management, travel and tourism management, health care and education food service management, etc. With the ever expanding world hospitality market, this degree has endless opportunities.
Prospective students not holding an associate of applied science degree can begin their college career at CMU in a chosen field of study with a 2-year degree and then progress to a 4-year degree using the B.A.S. This degree will provide students with upward mobility in their area of employment as they move into supervision/management positions.
