The Hospitality and Tourism Management program offers a Bachelor of Business Administration degree and provides students with knowledge necessary for success in enterprises related to the meetings, travel, tourism, gaming and hospitality industries.

The program in Hospitality and Tourism Management at Northeastern State University was one of the first to be approved by the Professional Convention Management Association.

The program consists of three distinct but interrelated components:

• meeting and convention management, tourist destination development, and gaming operations and procedures.
• Students may select one option or elect to complete any combination of areas.

The meeting and convention management program emphasizes managing and serving meetings, conventions, trade shows, and special events. The student who specializes in tourist destination development studies the development, management and marketing of tourist attractions and destination. The student who specializes in gaming learns gaming operations and procedures.
