Manchester Community College

The Hotel-Tourism program provides education and training for students who would like to work full-time after graduation. Students also may decide to continue their studies at another institution to earn a bachelor's degree. In the first year, students study such areas as introduction to the hospitality industry, quantity foods production, and food protection. In the second year students focus on hotel management procedures, food, beverage, and labor cost controls, and geography and tourism development. Students must participate in an individually planned 300-hour cooperative work experience program; students earn credit toward graduation while employed at the work site.
