Hospitality Leadership

Study hospitality in an industry hub

Our Hospitality Leadership program will prepare you for a management career in a variety of hospitality industry segments, including hotels, restaurants, private clubs, meetings and events. Hospitality majors here benefit from a program that balances hospitality leadership courses with core business curriculum.

As a hospitality major, you’ll have access to the school’s J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott Center for Student Development and Engagement. This center connects you with industry leaders, school alumni and students, and offers you highly-specialized career preparation and leadership development. The center is also available as a resource to help you successfully complete two internships, which are a requirement of the Hospitality Leadership program.

Located on DePaul’s Loop Campus in downtown Chicago, the School of Hospitality and Sports Business was recently named the most recognized hospitality program in Illinois in a recent Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Education study.
