How results are ordered

By default results are listed alphabetically by school, then by program. There is no price ranking: tuition is published in different currencies, for different periods and for different student categories, so it is shown in its original form and never converted. Items marked Sponsored are paid placements; they appear in their own labelled block and never change the order of organic results, verification or recognition information. Online programs are never counted as physically located in a destination, state or city. Read the methodology.

Hospitality degrees in the United States: what the verified records show

Our verified records for the United States cover 123 universitys and 27 colleges, with 217 hospitality management degree programs. Online-only programs are counted separately and are not described as local.

By level: 21 research doctorate, 33 master’s, 127 bachelor’s, 2 mba, 33 associate and 1 professional doctorate. Titles are shown as each institution publishes them; similarly named awards are not treated as equivalent across countries.

Teaching languages in these records: English, Spanish and Chinese. 24 programs are documented as taught entirely in English; a translated website alone is not counted as evidence.

1 program is awarded by an institution other than the one that teaches it (partner, validated or joint awards). The profile of each shows who awards the degree and where you would study.

43 programs publish tuition. Each amount keeps its own currency, basis and academic year, which is why prices are never ranked against each other.

70 programs have a published internship or placement requirement. The placement is part of the degree structure, not a promise of employment.

Published tuition in the United States

Each line is what the institution publishes, in its own currency and basis (per year, per semester, per credit or for the whole program), sometimes for one student category. Lines are listed alphabetically, never ranked, and are not converted or added up. Open a program for the academic year, what is included and the source.

31 more programs here publish tuition; use the programs view above to see them.

Admissions and recognition: what to check

Entry requirements differ by level, institution and sometimes by campus: prior education, language tests, work experience and intake dates are shown on each program profile with the page they came from.

Recognition is recorded with its scope. An institution’s recognition, the authority to confer a degree, a program accreditation and an association membership are different facts, and none of them is extended to another campus or to a partner automatically. Rankings are not recognition.

1 program here is awarded by an institution other than the one that teaches it, so check the awarding institution’s recognition and whether it covers the campus where you would study.

48 of 150 institutions here have at least one recognition record verified in an official source; the others are “not verified” or “stated by the institution” on their profiles, which is not the same as having no recognition.

Studying hospitality management in United States

Hospitality management is taught at US colleges and universities as associate, bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees. Examples from official pages: a 60-credit Associate in Science at Valencia College, 120-credit bachelor's degrees at the University of Central Florida and the University of Mississippi, a 33-credit Master of Science at the University of Central Florida, and a 60-credit PhD in Hospitality Management at the University of Mississippi. Many programs sit inside business or human-sciences colleges and include a required internship or industry work-experience component, in some cases several hundred hours.

Teaching languages. Programs are taught in English; the Puerto Rico programs recorded from Universidad Ana G. Mendez are published in Spanish.

Nothing here establishes visa, work-permit or credit-transfer eligibility. Check current rules with the official sources below and with the institution.

Recognition of institutions and degrees

The Accreditation Commission for Programs in Hospitality Administration (ACPHA) publishes a directory of accredited hospitality programs by state; programme accreditation is separate from the institutional accreditation of a college or university. Source

Recognition is recorded with its scope: an institution, an authority to award a qualification, a program accreditation or an association membership are different things, and none extends automatically to another campus or partner.
