for hotel management do you need a commerce base or can you have an arts base too?

Answer 1

both are fine, most HM colleges have an entrance and interview, so they just expect you to score over a certain percentage, they dont care about the stream. in some HM colleges the first semester teaches economics, accounts and hotel aspects of engineering, so it doesnt matter what you studied in +2.

Answer 2

Hotel Management is now a major at many Universities, and is called Hospitality Management (covered both restaurant, hotel, and casinos)....the rankings go as following:
1. Cornell
2. Penn State
3. Cal Poly Pomona
4. University Nevada, Las Vegas
and Purdue decided to not be apart of the rankings but they are unofficially tied for 2nd....

I don't see how an Arts base would help you one bit, and the commerce base is relevant but isn't basically what an employer is looking for when hiring hotel managers/high ranking employees

Answer 3

For hotel management you should have a base in hotel management. There are some great colleges out there that offer this type of degree.

Next best would be some type of business degree...like marketing. The manager of the hotel that I work for has this degree.

Arts based degrees are not very useful when it comes to being able to manage a hotel. You need to be up to date on the effective ways to motivate your employees and to get them working together on the same page.

With how competitive the hotel indusrty is today, the only way to do well is having the tools necessary for the job. And arts based degrees are not even close.

I have over twenty three years in the hotel and I am currently in a business program at a university. I decided on this type of degree because I believe it will serve me well in my job as a supervisor in the hotel I currently am employed in.

With the high costs associated with education, you better not waste your dollar on a worthless degree that cannot pay for itself.

Answer 4

For the most part, that depends on your potential employer. If your employer allows, you could probably get by with an arts base, assuming you took the right courses.
