Please visit this web site to see the industry representatives who serve in the respective Merchandising Board of Governors and Hospitality Management Board of Governors, the School's advisory boards. Increasing access and professional development through graduate education is a goal of the School. Interviews with industry leaders revealed that advanced degrees would contribute significantly to the logical thought processes so necessary for persons in leadership positions. In both merchandising and hospitality management, there is a critical need to understand profit-loss businesses and being able to achieve an acceptable profit margin. The web-based program addresses the need for educational opportunities to be available to those who work in real time i.e. their job responsibilities are continuous 24 hours a day and year round.
Students can access their courses anywhere and at anytime on line.
