Description:

See the state issued Transfer Model Curriculum (TMC) template for any further clarification regarding program requirements. The Associate in Science for Transfer in Hospitality Management is designed to provide a clear pathway to a CSU major and baccalaureate programs in Hospitality Management. The Hospitality Management major also offers a comprehensive educational approach to a career in the hospitality industry. The curriculum is designed to prepare students with both management theories and occupational job skills required to enter any segment of the industry. Students take classes specific to the industry including introduction to hospitality, introduction to the hotel industry, and hospitality law.

California Community College students who are awarded an ADT are guaranteed admission with junior standing somewhere in the CSU system. This priority does not guarantee admission to specific majors or campuses. Current and prospective community college students are encouraged to meet with a counselor to develop an educational plan that best meets their goals and needs.
