The Massachusetts Board of Higher Education has approved Bristol Community College’s new Hospitality Management Associate in Applied Science Program. The program will provide in-demand, diverse education in the four major hospitality areas of tourism, casino, hotel, and food service management.

There are few industries booming as quickly as the hospitality industry. Both locally and abroad, there is a great need for well-trained culinary artists, tourism experts, hotel, casino and food service managers, and professionals who know the skills of the industry. The new Hospitality Management program provides the final piece that provides a full array of hospitality and tourism related programs.

In addition to core courses, students select specialty concentrations. In Casino Management concentration, students focus on learning skills for dealing casino games, working as a casino pit boss, or floor supervisor. Hotel Management preparation includes front of house positions in concierge, front desk attendant, and event planning. In Tourism Management, students prepare for positions in tourism development, cruise ship booking, and community planning. In Food Service Management, students will prepare to work as bartenders, servers, or in food service sanitation and purchasing.  Students will also train in cutting-edge hospitality labs specializing in casino gaming equipment, mixology, and more.
