and articulates with secondary school programs in the college’s service
region.

Admission
Requirements: General college curricular admission
Program
Notes: 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
Management. 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.
The competency-based
nature of the curriculum allows students with previous educational studies
or training experience to be evaluated for advanced standing. Students who
believe they are eligible for such consideration are required to meet with
their advisor to discuss eligibility for evaluation and possible advanced
standing.
The purpose of the Associate of Applied
Science (AAS) degree curriculum is to prepare students for immediate employment
upon graduation. Four-year college and university transfer opportunities
for Associate of Applied Science degrees, if existing, are usually very
specific in nature. Students may, however, substitute some courses
in the AAS degree curriculum with courses that generally transfer to senior
institutions. Students should consult their advisor at the earliest
possible date for further guidance and are advised to get assurances in
writing in advance from the institution to which they wish to transfer.
Computer
Competency Requirement: Students in this program will meet the college’s
computer competency requirement by successfully completing
HRI 159.
