Yes, I can help. Hospitality, Travel, and Tourism as a specialization within an MBA program may not be commonly offered in the USA, but there are several universities that offer MBA programs with concentration or elective courses in Tourism and Hospitality Management. Some examples include:

  1. New York University (NYU) Stern School of Business
  2. Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration
  3. Boston University Questrom School of Business
  4. University of Nevada, Las Vegas - William F. Harrah College of Hospitality
  5. University of Houston - Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management

The MBA program with a focus on Hospitality, Travel, and Tourism is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to manage hospitality, travel, and tourism organizations. The program typically covers various areas of the industry such as hotel and resort management, airline and airport management, tourism planning and development, event management, and more.

The curriculum may include courses such as:

  • Hospitality Financial Management
  • Tourism Planning and Development
  • Hospitality Marketing and Sales
  • Hospitality Law and Ethics
  • Hospitality Operations and Services
  • Airline and Airport Management
  • Event Planning and Management

In addition to coursework, students may also be required to complete internships, case studies, and other hands-on learning experiences. Graduates of the program will typically have a strong understanding of the hospitality, travel, and tourism industry, as well as the skills necessary to lead and manage organizations within the industry.

Here are a few strategies and suggestions to help you find a suitable program:

Targeted Program Search:

  • MBA with Hospitality Concentration: Some business schools offer an MBA with a concentration in Hospitality Management, which covers topics relevant to travel and tourism. These programs blend core MBA coursework with specialized studies in hospitality.
  • MS in Hospitality and Tourism Management: If a direct MBA is hard to find, consider an MS (Master of Science) in Hospitality and Tourism Management. This type of program often offers business-oriented coursework similar to an MBA but with a stronger focus on the hospitality industry.
  • Combined Degrees: Some institutions offer dual degree programs combining an MBA with a Master of Tourism Management or similar fields, providing comprehensive business and industry-specific education.

Recommended Institutions:

  1. Cornell University: Known for its School of Hotel Administration, Cornell offers an MBA with a focus on hospitality management, integrating leadership and service management skills with business fundamentals.
  2. University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV): Offers an MBA program with a concentration in Hospitality Management through its Lee Business School and Harrah College of Hospitality.

  4. Michigan State University: The Broad College of Business and The School of Hospitality Business offer a dual degree MBA and Master of Science in Hospitality Business Management.

Steps to Follow:

  • Research Online: Utilize graduate program search tools like GradSchools.com or specific university websites to find programs that match your interests.
  • Contact Admissions Offices: Reach out directly to admissions counselors at universities you are interested in. They can offer detailed information about course offerings that may not be prominently featured online.
  • Look at Course Listings: Sometimes the best way to gauge if a program will meet your needs is to look at the specific courses offered under potential programs. This can also reveal elective or specialization opportunities that are not immediately apparent from the program summary.
  • Networking: Connecting with alumni or current students through platforms like LinkedIn or university forums can provide insights and first-hand experiences about the programs.

By considering these options and broadening your search to include related degrees, you should be able to find a program in the USA that aligns with your career goals in hospitality and travel & tourism.
