The mission of the School
of Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management (HRTM) is to prepare
undergraduate and graduate students for challenging careers in the
hospitality and tourism industry, to conduct applied research that
impacts the hospitality and tourism industry on a global level, and

economic development of the state of South Carolina and throughout
the world.
The program provides a comprehensive curriculum that includes
courses in general education, business, and hospitality and tourism

The HRTM faculty provide uncompromising individualized attention to
meeting the educational needs of our students, and assume very
active and influential roles in numerous professional organizations
