Learning Goals for the M.S. Degree

The Master of Science (MS) degree is a highly individualized program directed toward students who plan to eventually teach and perform research in a university setting. By the end of the first year of study students will select a Special Committee of graduate faculty members (two for MS candidates), who will guide the candidate in developing a course of study suited to his or her background and interests.

Candidates will develop a broad-based knowledge of hospitality management, learn research methodology including statistical methods and become proficient at in-depth research.
