The Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management was established in 1969 to meet the demand for professional training in the increasingly complex hospitality industry. To satisfy this demand, the College seeks to prepare students for effective and profitable management roles in their choice of careers and to offer a cultural experience, which will aid them in taking their places as productive members of society. Hotel and restaurant management requires a diversity of skills found in many disciplines including accounting, computer science, economics, law, mathematics and psychology. For this reason, the College emphasizes broad information skills, flexibility in abstract problem solving, and in-depth studies of specific skills. The curriculum is designed to prepare students to cope with changing business conditions and to present both theoretical and practical approaches to the diverse needs of the hospitality industry. In support of this goal, faculty members are selected from appropriate academic disciplines and from the professional community on the basis of their knowledge, teaching skills, and practical experience.
