INTRODUCTION

COURSE OVERVIEW: Breyer State University offers a Certificate program in Hotel Management Education. This is a twelve-semester hour course and provides a comprehensive and detailed curriculum in the hotel field. The program uses the latest and authoritative texts. The certificate program is designed to prepare hotel managers, whether you are an aspiring one or an experienced one, to manage at a competent level of knowledge and skill in the industry. And since the industry represents such a vast arena of businesses and industries, this course analyzes and demystifies a plethora of concepts such as food costs, labor costs, liquor costs, Profits and Loss statements, Balance Sheets, advertising, marketing, human resources, bookkeeping and more. Thus, this course is for just about anyone: from the waitress or cook who desires to manage; to the chef who yearns to trade in his/her white attire for a grey suite; to the assistant GM who desires to run the shop; to the GM who wants to further his/her career up the corporate ladder; and, finally, if one is lucky, to anyone who has that insatiable appetite to own.

Upon successful completion of the certificate program, you will receive a College Certificate in this specialty and twelve-semester hours of college credit.

You may enroll at anytime and begin your studies. The Certificate Program is designed to be a self-paced program with one to one faculty mentoring. You are permitted twelve months from the date of enrollment to complete the program. You study at your own pace, and are permitted to complete the program in less than the twelve-month allotted time frame.

Once officially enrolled, you are given a security password and directions to accessing the online classroom for the Certificate Program.
