e've redesigned the Master of Global Hospitality Management program so students become completely adept at using the latest technologies to drive innovation across all hospitality sectors. In addition to taking six core courses covering the foundations of the hospitality field, students will pursue a career track comprising four courses. We've developed three career tracks that address the need for visionary talent who can handle constant change and spearhead technology-backed solutions.

Career track options include:

Disruptive Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Disruptive innovations have sparked massive opportunities in the hospitality arena. Hotel owners are eager to entice guests with novel products and services, and to embrace automation—a formerly taboo term in an industry that viewed customer service as primarily human-centric. Plus, the "ghost kitchen" concept has turned the restaurant space on its head, shaking the definition of a dining experience to its core. Hospitality professionals must adapt by reaching customers with new technologies, marketing strategies, and distribution mechanisms. This career track will train such pioneers.

Fintech Innovation

Hoteliers and restaurant owners had no choice but to adopt contactless check-in and payment options amidst a global pandemic. Now customers expect digital options to be the permanent norm. But along with the huge convenience factor of e-wallets come issues such as client no-shows, processing errors, and fraud. Hospitality professionals are looking for a centralized fintech platform allowing customers to register and verify their credit card information, as the cost of implementation is too high for any single hotel. This certificate will enable students to understand how fintech will inevitably change and improve how hospitality professionals conduct business.

Artificial Intelligence Business Innovation

Hospitality businesses can harness artificial intelligence (A.I.) to streamline customer relationship management and optimize revenues. After all, large amounts of hospitality transaction data are available to be scoured and interpreted using machine learning and predictive analytics tools. Through this career track, students will cover key technical aspects and explore the sociological and ethical implications of A.I.

St. John’s University’s Master of Science Degree Program in International Hospitality Management responds to the explosive growth in the global hospitality industry in recent years.  More people are traveling than ever before for both business and pleasure. The industry today is full of new and exciting varieties of hotels, restaurants, brands, experiences, adventures and more.

Travelers visit familiar and remote places around the globe and want desirable places to stay and innovative vacation, relaxation, learning, fun and volunteer offerings. Employment in the hospitality industry continues to grow; by 2024, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that wage and salary jobs in the hospitality industry will grow by 8 percent.  In the United States, travel and tourism are among the largest services industries and the largest employers. This growth presents a greater need for educated hospitality professionals.

The Master of Science in Hospitality and Tourism Management helps students enhance their professional leadership abilities, technical and research skills, and career advancement opportunities through a blend of theory and practice. Theoretical areas of study include management theory, operations analysis, organizational and leadership development, and research methods. Practical areas of study include issues and trends review, lodging management, food and beverage management, meeting, convention and exhibition management, and other elective courses. Through intensive research and analysis, students engage in creative problem solving and apply research methods to address issues and trends in the industry.

The goal of the M.S. program in Hospitality Management is to develop advanced professionals in the hospitality field with emphasis on marketing, operations, and event management. Education should enable professionals in this field to be expert managers, marketers, and planners in the public, private, and commercial sectors. The program prepares students to be middle-level and, eventually, upper-level managers within the hospitality industry. The degree program is based not only on the practical application of management techniques, but also on the theoretical foundation that defines the profession. This makes the degree program clearly distinct from generic management curricula that do not include an industry-specific core.
