Hotel and Restaurant Management and Hospitality Management, BS/MS

Program Description

For students who want to pursue a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Hotel and Restaurant Management and earn a Master of Science (MS) in Hospitality Management, the dual BS/MS program offers an accelerated degree program to earn both in five years. The dual BS/MS provides a clear and concise path toward accelerated academic goals and enables students to begin concentrated work on a professional focus in the hospitality industry during the final year of their BS degree plan. Students who are accepted into this program can complete 12 hours toward their MS degree as an undergraduate student, and the remaining credits for the MS can be completed in one additional calendar year as a graduate student.

Application Process

Applicants gain conditional admission to this dual program during their final undergraduate year. Unconditional admission to the MS program requires a successful completion of the BS in Hotel and Restaurant Management, a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better, satisfactory GRE or GMAT scores, and successful completion of the graduate program application process. A Skype or other distance-conducted interview may be required for students who have met all other admission criteria and after approval by the MS applicant selection committee. The interview will be administered by the graduate programs office after a date and time is established that accommodates both the applicant and the interviewer.
