What classes do you have to take in college to work at a hotel and someday become manager?

Question

or assistant manager?

Answer 1

Many community colleges offer Hospitality & Restaurant Management or Tourism Hotel Management AA and cerfiticate programs that tranfer to State Universities. They are more specialized for that particular profession than the general Business Management Degree. Good luck!

Answer 2

If you are currently working in a hotel, stay there. For example:

A. No college-- It takes 10 years to make manager. During those years you make(as a total)$250,000; starting at around $20,000/yr and gradually making more each year. You are gaining experience and building trust within the corporation.
You become a manager and now make $50,000+ each year.

B. College-- You can't work full-time while going to school, so you never excel in the corporation. You pay out thousands of
dollars each semester to learn general business aspects that could have been explained on a specific level by your current employer and better prepared you for your desired position.
You finally get done with college, you have major debt and you still have to start from the beginning to gain that all-important
EXPERIENCE. It still takes several years to make manager,
all of which you spend all your money on student loans.

IF you're going into a job market that doesn't require a degree, don't bother. I make nearly $100,000/yr with training I received in the military. I could be doing the same job with a
college degree; true enough. But I would have hundreds of
thousands of debt instead of owning a house, 2 cars, and
having a very secure financial situation.

Answer 3

Some colleges actually provide a hospitality management degree, which is exactly what you would need to get for this type of work. However, any business management degree will also cover the majority of the same coursework. Make sure that you take as many finance, accounting, management, advertising, and real estate classes as you can since this will make up the bulk of your need.

Answer 4

You don't necessarily have to have a degree to be in hotel management, although it will be helpful. I would recommend majoring in business. You can pick up the customer service skills along the way.

I worked my way up in several hotels...I started as a concierge and worked as a reservations mgr, front office mgr, & housekeeping manager (with no degree). The next step was Room Division Mgr, then Asst. GM. I decided to make a career change though & went to school for my BA & switched to HR.

Answer 5

Some schools have courses in hotel management. I believe classes in either: human resources and/or business management will do. One way to find out for sure is to contact a hotel and ask.

Good luck!

Answer 6
