Best Degree with hospitality credits?

[cookderosa]

Too bad TESU no longer has the BSBA LDAS. That would have been perfect. The American Public University System has a hospitality management program.

You might enjoy the HM program at APU better than a business degree with it as a concentration (so fewer of those courses).  They would take your CC credits plus enough alternative credit to do all of the GE requirements, and you need to plan out taking 30cr there.  So the tuition at APU would be $8100 for those 30cr.  And they do monthly payment plans which might be helpful.

[At COSC]  You also have to add 18cr of UL Hospitality courses, which is adding to the number of Non-LA courses, meaning you lose more credits.…

I'd do Jennifer's plan, and either choose Hospitality or Management as your UL coursework.  It's going to be the most cost-effective method.  And, with COSC, it's better to try to incorporate your remaining UL credit requirements into your GE requirements if possible, to get the most bang for your buck; so use an UL wherever possible when trying to fulfill a requirement (Adv Tech Writing for your 2nd English Comp requirement, an UL US History course, an UL ethics course, etc.).  Much easier than doing your requirements and THEN taking UL courses.

I think the above misses a nuance about the Individualized Studies concentration at Charter Oak. It's an individualized interdisciplinary concentration where a student chooses at least two contributing disciplines such as Hospitality and Management. Consistent with this, "The 18 upper level credits must represent a logical distribution from various disciplines in the concentration." For instance, you could cover half or more of the 18 sh UL with Management, with maybe 6 or 9 sh from Hospitality.

Can you choose 2 things within hospitality management?  So Culinary Arts and Restaurant Management?  Culinary Arts and Restaurant Management?  Whatever 2 different things you want?

COSC will do Hospitality AND Management (my son's) there aren't enough to do any culinary upper level and/or restaurant management. The one my son is doing is the most direct way - it lets you pull from any managment options.
