A minor in Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism (HRT) Management was recently added to the array of academic program choices in the Business Department at the University of Minnesota, Crookston. The addition of the minor provides students majoring in business or another academic program the opportunity to explore the hospitality industry, complement their major, and broaden their skills.
The new program name for the bachelor's degree in Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism Management was also approved by the University of Minnesota Board of Regents and better reflects current industry needs. It was formerly known as hotel, restaurant, and institutional management. This name change along with recent curriculum updates fine tunes the program to best meet student job opportunities in the broad and expanding field of hospitality and development of tourism destinations.
Graduates have accepted management positions with Hilton, Marriott, Omni Hotels, Madden's on Gull Lake, Wingate, Walt Disney World Co., AmericInn, Big Sky Montana, Chilies, Red Lobster, Westin Hotels & Resorts, Grand View Lodge, Torgerson Properties, Salt Lake Convention and Visitors Bureau, Reinhart Foodservice, and many more fine companies.
The HRT degree program prepares undergraduate students for management positions in hotels and lodging properties, restaurants, convention bureaus, conference and meeting centers, private clubs, commercial, institutional and health care food services, and contract management companies.
