Hospitality Management is a growing industry worldwide. Studying abroad gives students the opportunity to gain cross-cultural skills, see hospitality management within a different culture, and perhaps even study the fundamentals of wine making in Italy.
See the list of recommended study abroad programs below. Please be aware that for any external or exchange study abroad programs listed, students will need to check with their academic department to see if courses taken while abroad will transfer and fulfill needed requirements.
