A Dynamic Curriculum The curriculum is based on the core principles of a dynamic business environment with specialized emphasis on the unique technological, managerial, and analytical requirements of managers and executives in the hotel and restaurant industries.

HOTEL AND RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT Niagara University’s College of Hospitality, Sport, and Tourism Management provides students with ample resources to be successful within their major, including regular academic advisement, career counseling, and networking opportunities with notable alumni and industry leaders. “Through my intro to hospitality course, I discovered that I had a love for the hospitality industry and all it has to hold. After completing this course, I met with my academic advisor. After a long conversation, we decided I should begin to pursue a double major in sport management and luxury hospitality operations. This decision changed the path I walk and drew me into the country club industry that I am pursuing a career in today.” Trevor Howell, ’23
