Program Length:
Two-Year Diploma
Career Opportunities:
The need for trained people in this expanding global industry is
high and still growing. The range of opportunities is great for
those who are people-oriented, energetic, flexible and knowledgeable.
Practical experience in all phases of hospitality is a prerequisite
for top management and sales positions. It is highly recommended
that students supplement their academic training with part-time
or summer employment in the industry throughout the program.
Program Description:
The hospitality industry is exciting and demanding. Loyalist’s
program develops problem-solving skills in practical customer-centred
operations, and behind-the-scenes managerial and accounting functions.
Teamwork is an essential element in many of the courses, and practical
application plays a key role in the learning process. The program
is rigorous and requires above-average commitment of time and energy.
Students are responsible for the operation of a full-service restaurant
on campus, and participate in providing hospitality services to
the community for a variety of events outside the regular timetable.
The passing grade for all courses is 60% (GPA of 2.0).
During the first year of the program, students are exposed to hands-on
training in three main areas of a hotel: front office operations,
food and beverage preparation, food and beverage service (the latter
in Club 213, our student-run, fine-dining restaurant).
During the second year, students build on the foundations laid down
in Year One, developing new industry-related abilities in marketing,
advertising, convention and meeting planning, and special events
management. In Club 213, students focus on developing their supervisory
skills and organizational abilities. They also learn the secrets
of some of the region’s top chefs. To complete their academic
development, the last portion of Semester Four includes an extended
placement within the hospitality industry at the location of the
student’s choice.
