Framingham State’s Hospitality & Tourism Management program prepares you for a wide range of positions within hotels, resorts, spas, country clubs, restaurants, catering operations, cruise lines, casinos, travel and tourism organizations, convention services, event and wedding planning, and recreation facilities.

Courses within the major will expose you to the various management functions in the hospitality industry including lodging operations, food and beverage operations, customer service, marketing, human resources, financial management, technology use and management, legal and ethical regulation, facilities management, and strategy.

You will also learn from the pros through our guest speaker series which brings local and international industry professionals into the classroom to discuss their companies, offer advice on starting your career, and share information about internship opportunities.
