Hospitality management

Once you’re admitted to Oregon State, you can elect to pursue the hospitality management program’s specialization in ecotourism and sustainability, which is the fastest-growing segment of hospitality. The specialization’s coursework delves into adventure tourism, sustainable communities and social dimensions of sustainability. 

Your academic advisor will be able to provide more information after you enroll.

As a hospitality management major, you’ll take part in three required internships in your community. The program advisor and program lead will work with you to select internship experiences that are meaningful, align with the program’s mission and also meet your needs. These internships can take place in your local area or even internationally.

Some degree requirements may be transferred from other institutions. Please note that a minimum of 45 credits of the last 75 credits in this degree program must be completed at Oregon State (online or on campus) to meet the academic residency requirement.

Previously earned credits must be reviewed upon admittance to OSU for appropriate articulation. Additional information about transferring credits is available through OSU’s Transfer Credit Central or you may request an unofficial transcript evaluation through the College of Business.
