Fordham Studies Launches Hospitality Degree and Certificate Program
For those seeking a career in the hospitality industry, BCW Member Fordham University’s School of Professional and Continuing Studies has the answer with the launch of a new Hospitality Program that provides aspiring students a pathway to leadership roles in hospitality management, asset management and entrepreneurship.
Under the umbrella of the Fordham Real Estate Institute (REI), the Hospitality Program offers a Master of Science in Hospitality degree, an advanced graduate certificate in Hotel Management, and an advanced graduate certificate in Hospitality Investment and Development.
The program is designed for students who want to advance to senior/executive/entrepreneurial roles within the hospitality industry and understand the real estate and asset management aspects of the industry.
“We’re proud to be at the forefront of equipping students with the hard and soft skills needed to succeed in the ever-evolving hospitality industry,” said Anthony R. Davidson, Dean of Fordham’s School of Professional and Continuing Studies (PCS). “This aligns with the school’s overall mission, as a globally recognized innovator, to prepare future industry leaders no matter what their prior backgrounds or career paths might have been.”
The program aims to provide a comprehensive, cutting-edge curriculum that goes beyond hotel management, said Joshua Harris, the executive director of REI who also is heading the Hospitality Program. “The Hospitality Program is a natural extension of REI,” Harris said. “Hospitality is an integral part of the real estate world and, as global trends alter the travel and tourism landscape, we are seeing a greater demand for professionals educated in hospitality management, investment and development.”
Courses will be offered in-person and online and taught by industry professionals with both practical experience and teaching expertise, covering a range of hospitality-related topics and electives. The program also will benefit from the guidance of an Executive Advisory Council of industry leaders.
Registration is underway for the fall. For information, click here.
