Hospitality Services Administration Minor, B.A.; B.A.A.; B.F.A.; B.S.; B.S. in B.A.
The HSA minor is designed primarily for students who will work in a field closely allied with the hospitality services industry. Two such fields are commercial recreation and food service administration. This minor is not designed to prepare students for a career in hospitality services, but is designed to introduce the student to the field in a rigorous fashion. The student will also acquire an understanding of how hospitality services administration interacts with the students’ major field of study. Students should not expect the HSA minor to make them competitive with students whose majors are in hospitality services administration for managerial positions in the hospitality services industry.
