This program lends itself to interdisciplinary study. Many programs allow you to combine a degree in hospitality management with a degree in another program such as business administration or restaurant and food services management.

Other programs only offer these programs in combination. A good example of this is doctoral programs. If you're interested in academic research or teaching at the college-level, you can pursue a doctoral degree, but only as part of a larger combined program, such as those mentioned above.

You may find it helpful to take college courses in a second language and in world cultures. This would be true especially if you wanted to open an international chain of hotels or manage a hotel in another country.
