Rochester Institute of Technology
he hospitality and tourism degree provides an in-depth understanding of the hospitality and tourism industry and prepares students to enter nearly any segment of the industry, including lodging, hotels, restaurants, casinos, cruise line operations, resorts and spas, event management, or airline catering.
Among the biggest evolutions in the hospitality field is the impact of technology on the guest experience, food service and delivery, and more. Technology, along with data analytics, is driving how hospitality professionals are interacting with guests and managing their expectations. From apps that help plan and manage guest experiences, to wearables that unlock guest room doors, to online check-in and food ordering, today’s hospitality professionals must be knowledgeable of how the latest technology is being used to improve the guest experience. Hospitality and tourism majors study the hospitality industry alongside students majoring in computing, information sciences, engineering, business, entrepreneurship, and more. This exposes students to diverse ideas from those studying in other majors. This powerful experience can help inform the senior capstone project, where students tackle a hospitality industry problem and propose an innovative solution.
