Purpose:
The Hospitality
Leadership program is intended to develop the leadership and human
resources management capabilities of individuals employed in hotels and
restaurants.
Occupational Objectives: This instruction
will enable individuals with hospitality operations experience to
succeed in supervisory and managerial positions. Admission Requirements: General college curricular admission Program Notes: In
addition to the general college curricular admission requirements,
students must demonstrate college level proficiency in reading and
writing. Proficiency may be demonstrated by the following:
-
Submission of
official college transcripts that record completion of a college
level composition
course, or
-
Submission of
SAT or ACT scores, taken within the past five years, at the
following levels:
-
ACT Verbal 19
-
SAT Verbal 480
(taken on or after April 1, 1995)
-
SAT Critical
Reading 480
(taken on or after March 1, 2005), or
-
Successful
completion of the COMPASS English placement test for ENG 111, with a
satisfactory score on the reading test. Students with deficiencies in
reading or writing may
require developmental studies to be commenced during their first semester of
enrollment and completed sequentially every subsequent semester until all
developmental requirements are satisfied.
This course of study yields multiple awards. Students who complete this
program earn the Human Resources Management Certificate of
Specialization from the Educational Institute (EI) of the American Hotel
& Lodging Association (AH&LA), in addition to the Hospitality Leadership
Career Studies Certificate from the college. Additionally, students who
complete this program are eligible to enter the EI Certified Hospitality
Supervisor (CHS) program and sit for the EI Certified Hospitality
Supervisor (CHS) Examination. Acceptance into the CHS program allows six
months from successful completion of the CHS examination to secure
full-time employment as a qualifying supervisor in the hospitality
industry and to have held one or more such positions for a minimum of 3
months. A qualifying supervisor is a person who supervises two or more
individuals; has job duties that are at least 20 percent supervisory in
nature and include such tasks as scheduling, training, interviewing,
disciplining, inspecting, and conducting performance reviews; makes
decisions and judgment calls while performing daily duties; and has
input on hiring and firing decisions within a department. Once the EI
verifies this experience through a letter from a candidate's employer(s),
the individual will be awarded the CHS designation.
Students who earn a
final grade lower than "C" in any HRI course must obtain permission from
their advisor to continue the major in Hospitality Leadership. Students
will normally be required to repeat courses in their major when grades
lower than "C" are earned. Exceptions must be approved in writing by the
program head.

one-on-one advising to enhance student success. Students pursuing this
certificate must schedule and complete an entry interview with their
faculty advisor. Once enrolled, students must meet with their advisor
every semester to review their scheduling strategy and status toward
graduation.
