Colorado Technical University Denver Introduces Hospitality Management Concentration for MBA Program

"We believe Denver is an ideal market for this new concentration in hospitality management due to the important roles travel and tourism play in Colorado, especially given the state's outdoor activities and attractions," said CTU Denver campus president Mark Pieffer, D.M. "Through this MBA program, students will receive a career-relevant education in this industry."

The Master of Business Administration with a concentration in hospitality management degree is designed to help students learn how to assess and improve the overall performance and effectiveness of hospitality, tourism and resort organizations. It focuses on building specialized skills and knowledge in financial management, customer service, marketing, planning, leadership and operations for hospitality-based venues. Students will also research emerging issues that impact domestic and global hospitality operations. The courses are offered on the CTU Denver campus.
