The hospitality industry may soon account for one out of every eight jobs in the United States. As a result, companies in hospitality are putting out the welcome mat for college graduates who come with practical training and a can-do attitude. Monroe's hospitality students are trained to fill those needs.

That's accomplished by a real-world education that includes internships and work opportunities at some of the most prestigious sites in the world, many of which are in New York City. There's also instruction in cutting-edge concepts like technology, ecotourism, and sustainability.

Helping to broaden the experience is Monroe's diverse enrollment. Hospitality students come from around the world, bringing together different service styles and customs.
