Overview

The Hospitality Management curriculum at Ferris State University combines theory with practice by incorporating hands-on experience through numerous industry site visits, service learning projects, and curriculum focused internships. The degree consists of a core of classes relevant to all facets of hospitality including Guest Service Management, Sanitation & Safety, and Hospitality Law. Students then specialize their study by selecting a focus in one of four concentrations: Lodging, Food & Beverage, Event, or Specialized Management. These offerings combined with a comprehensive business core provide our graduates with the practical knowledge, leadership skills, and service-oriented philosophy to be successful in today’s industry.

Students gain insight in their area of study through interactions with professionals across the spectrum of hospitality by means of program partnerships with national associations and industry leaders. Whether attending a campus presentation on company-wide opportunities with corporate recruiters or traveling to attend state and national conferences, our students spend time learning with professionals and building their industry network.

To maintain the highest level of quality curriculum, our program is guided by an active advisory board consisting of over 30 industry leaders from across the country. Combined with dedicated faculty, well-connected in the industry, students find relevant knowledge and active learning to be a daily component of their classroom experience.

Graduates are well prepared to enter the hospitality industry with advanced professional skills and their own industry connections. With strategic preparation and an interwoven approach to service, our alumni are leading their organizations across the country.
