Highline Community College
– Hotel & Tourism Management – Seattle, WA
flightline.highline.edu/hoteltourism
This two-year degree program,
or a one-year certificate option, is designed to provide students with
both practical and theoretical training to start their career in the Hospitality
Industry. As the only two-year program in Hotel Management in western Washington,
Highline provides a strong background in the management side of hospitality
to prepare students for entry level management positions in the industry
or continuing their education in other accredited four-year programs. Courses
are completed in managing front desk operations, food and beverage operations
management, human resources management, microcomputers, issues in world
tourism, communications, international business, accounting, salesmanship,
marketing, plus event, meeting and conference planning. Instruction is
augmented by required internships (660 hours) in hotels in the greater
Seattle area or in other tourism-related positions.
Since 1961, Highline Community
College has provided higher education for greater Seattle. A non-residential
campus on 80 acres overlooking Puget Sound just south of Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport, there are 450 faculty in over 45 transfer and professional/technical
programs with a diverse student body of all ages, from many states and
different countries.
Students have the option
of transferring with their completed Associate of Applied Science degree
in Hotel and Tourism Management into four-year Bachelors’ programs and
beyond. These program agreements are listed at the program website and
include both US and International schools.
Highline Community College
offers training in an environment where:
-
Classes are small and personal
attention by instructors is big.
-
Faculty concentrate on teaching,
not research.
-
A very diverse population contributes
to activities in and out of class and the globalization of the curriculum.
-
Computer and other support services
are state of the art.
-
The natural beauty of the Pacific
Northwest is a perfect environment to study hospitality and tourism, the
3rd largest industry in the state.
-
The cost of education is low,
and the return is high.
This is a hospitality management
program, not a culinary school with some hospitality classes added.
