Thanks to distance learning, students can take classes through videotape delivery of courses. The hospitality industry is projected to be one of the fastest growing industries worldwide into the next century. The HRIM curriculum consists of liberal arts, business and specialized courses in technical applications for the hotel, restaurant and related industries. Graduates are qualified for a broad range of managerial positions in catering, meeting planning, food service management, guest relations, hotel front desk office management, resort management and more. Designed for students whose work or lifestyle prevents participation in traditional college classes on campus, distance learning uses video technology to deliver classes at the student's convenience.
Students interact with faculty by telephone during phone-in office hours, by fax or by voice mail.
Student assessment takes place through papers or projects, evaluated by faculty, proctored tests or by take-home exams.
