Effective hospitality managers create memorable events and environments that exceed guest expectations.

Whether you work at a resort, restaurant or on a cruise ship, you’ll need a wide range of management, communication and leadership skills to capture the hearts of your patrons. As a JMU hospitality management major, you will develop leadership skills through sound theoretical course work, innovative learning activities and mentoring opportunities. All of your major requirements are met through small classes, team learning experiences, and meaningful personal contacts with faculty and industry professionals. With an emphasis on applied practical knowledge, your required internship will augment your classroom learning as you work alongside dynamic industry professionals in premier hospitality organizations. Along the way, your required classes will also earn you a useful general business minor.
