The Associate Degree in Hospitality Management for Transfer at Lake Tahoe Community College will provide students with both the management theory and operational competency needed to enter any segment of the industry after graduation. Students can take a variety of classes including Introduction to Hospitality, Food and Beverage Management, Food Sanitation and Safety, Cost Control, Financial Accounting and Microeconomics, Basic Food Preparation, and Business Law.
As a hospitality student at LTCC, you’ll learn the ins and outs of best practices for management and operations for major resorts, hotels, ski resorts, the gaming and golf industries, events, sustainable tourism practices, and much more. Even if you don’t pursue a four-year degree, you’ll have the competency to enter any one of these industries, ready to go to work after graduation. But…
As with any of LTCC’s transfer degrees, there are serious savings to be found with this program – get your first two years completed at LTCC for a greatly reduced rate, then transfer to a four-year school to earn your BA for half the price other students who didn’t attend community college pay, and earn the very same degree!
This program aligns with the Hospitality Sector Registered Apprenticeship (HSRA) standards. Perfect for those who are brand-new to the industry or for those with some practical experience.
