When you think about hospitality, hospitality
to me is a specialized business degree. The
reason why that's important is that we bring
the people side of it as well as the business
side.
The facilities we have here at the Hart School
have grown immensely in the last couple of
years. We've added a kitchen: now we have
a demonstration kitchen, as well as a production
kitchen, so the students are able to get their
hands-on experience from the culinary side.
The Madison Hotel is a facility on campus.
It is a 235-room lodging facility that also
has 21,000 square feet of banquet space and
educational conference centers. We have two
classrooms, we also have three faculty offices
there as well as an additional board room
that is at the hotel.
All students who come to the Hart School are
required to complete 1,000 hours of related
work experience. At the first front is 600
hours of work experience that can start when
the student is a senior in high school all
the way through their college experience.
That would be in any capacity, related to
hotels, restaurants or anything within the
mega industry.
