From the Classroom to the Boardroom

Our courses are taught by faculty and experienced professionals, rather than teaching assistants. Learn from instructors who have worked in the field and bring real-world knowledge to the classroom. You'll also have opportunities to build your entrepreneurial and technical skills, work with industry leaders, and go after micro seed funding through the McNair Center for Entrepreneurism, one of only six centers of its kind across the U.S.

Melissa Currie, Founder and CEO of TP&S Consulting Inc

"What sets the hospitality degree apart from other schools is its access to local professionals, its smaller classroom ratio, and the hospitality best practices that have been indoctrinated in the program."

Twila Jones, Experience Columbia SC
