ATLANTA—The J. Mack Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University will offer an online graduate degree in hospitality management beginning fall 2015. The one-year master of global hospitality management degree will be the first online program offered by the Robinson College of Business.
Intended for established hospitality professionals, and for those new to the discipline, the online program will offer the same rigorous coursework as the traditional degree format.
“In a dynamic, fast-paced industry, we felt it necessary to offer an alternative to the traditional classroom environment,” said Debby Cannon, director of the Cecil B. Day School of Hospitality Administration. “Online learning allows students from around the world to achieve academic and career success and gain the skills necessary in a global workplace.”
“The Robinson College of Business is pleased to offer this new online degree program beginning next fall,” said Toby McChesney, assistant dean for graduate recruiting and student services. “With increasing demand for online graduate programs, we’re certain this one-year graduate program will allow students to earn a Robinson education anywhere in the world.”
Candidates must hold a four-year undergraduate degree from an accredited college or university, and professional experience is preferred but not required. Applications are due by May 1. In addition to their degree, graduates of the program will receive a Certificate in Sustainable Hospitality Management.
