Hospitality and tourism are two of California’s fastest growing and most important industries. The Bachelor of Science in Hospitality and Tourism Management allows students flexibility in the selection of courses related to hospitality and tourism management, commercial recreation, and event planning. The curriculum focuses on hotel management, tourism destination marketing, and convention and meeting planning, as well as the basics of entrepreneurial businesses, and the skills needed for working with for-profit, and experience industry agencies (e.g., resorts, ski lodges, conference and meeting facilities, cruise lines, theme parks, destination marketing agencies, spas, clubs, and travel agencies). Local industry professionals from the Sacramento Hotel Association and Visit Sacramento (Sacramento Convention and Visitors Bureau) work closely with department faculty to give students practical skills associated with internships and jobs in the industry.
