Accelerated B.S./M.S. in Hospitality Administration

The Accelerated B.S./M.S. program will provide outstanding undergraduates the opportunity to pursue their Bachelor of Science in Event and Hospitality Management and a Master of Science in Hospitality Administration in a shorter time. You may enroll in up to 9 graduate credit hours that count toward both your bachelor’s and master’s degrees! That means you can save time, reduce your overall course load later, and explore graduate-level coursework while you’re finishing your B.S in Hospitality Management.

Here’s what makes the accelerated option a smart choice:

  • “Double dip” up to 9 credit hours toward your bachelor’s and master’s degree
  • Gain early exposure to advanced hospitality leadership, strategy, and management concepts
  • Your graduate courses are charged at the undergraduate tuition rate, saving you money!
  • Our M.S. program is offered both in person and 100% online, providing flexibility if you plan to move or balance future job or professional commitments.
  • No obligation - you can decide at any point not to continue with the master’s program with zero penalty. However, we think you’ll want to finish!

The accelerated option is ideal if you’re even considering graduate school and want to keep your options open, risk-free, while maximizing the value of your undergraduate experience.
