Hospitality Management

This program provides students with the broad technical background required in today's increasingly diverse hospitality industry. The Associate in Science in Hospitality Management for Transfer prepares students for success in a baccalaureate degree program at a participating California State University (CSU) campus. Students learn about the hospitality management industry, and once they earn a bachelor's degree they can expect to find entry-level management employment in the restaurant, lodging, food service, recreation, gaming, or tourism industries. Following transfer to a participating CSU campus, students will be required to complete no more than 60 units to obtain a bachelor’s degree; however, some CSU campuses accepting this degree may require additional lower-division major preparation. This degree may not be appropriate preparation for students transferring to a CSU campus not accepting this degree or to a university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a MiraCosta counselor for further information regarding the most efficient pathway to transfer as a hospitality management major and to determine which CSU campuses are participating in this program. To complete the degree, students must fulfill the following requirements: Complete a minimum of 60 CSU-transferable semester units. Complete all courses required in the major with a “C” or "P" or better. Complete the Cal-GETC general education pattern. Obtain a minimum CSU-transferable GPA of 2.0. Complete a minimum of 12 units in residence at MiraCosta College.
