Overview

Program Description The Hospitality Management program at Montana State University prepares students to become skilled professionals within the expanding local, regional, national and global hospitality industries. Students, choosing from one of three degree options (Food Enterprise, Lodging and Facilities Management, and Restaurant Management: Farm-to-Table) engage in an interdisciplinary and experiential curriculum. The curriculum draws from course work in food and nutrition, culinary arts, business, and agriculture as well as hospitality-specific course work emphasizing sustainability and quality customer service across the hospitality industry. All options have practicum courses for skill development and field-based courses that integrate problem-based learning and service learning through community engagement. Additionally, all options include internships to ensure that graduates have sufficient practical experience to be prepared and competitive for job placement. Food Enterprise Option Focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship in the food sector, the Food Enterprise option explores strategies for adding value to Montana’s specialty crops. Students learn about food science, small-scale processing, product development, marketing, and distribution. This option pulls together common themes often associated within existing value-added food enterprises -- sustainable practices, rural hospitality, and the integration of a farm-to-table philosophy. Graduates will find employment with existing food processing and distribution companies, or as entrepreneurs launching value-added food enterprises. The curriculum includes course work in food processing, experimental foods, food safety and sanitation, sustainable food systems, food and nutrition, business and entrepreneurship, and overlaps with many courses offered within the Restaurant Management: Farm-to-Table option. The Food Enterprise option also includes practicum course work related to food product development and a senior-level internship within the food enterprise sector.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
