State OK's new hospitality, tourism programs
The state Education Department has approved new Finger Lakes Community College programming that provides more flexibility and choice for students pursuing careers in hospitality and tourism.
New degree:
New one-year certificates:
The certificates can be taken alone or as a track within the degree program. Students also have the option to start in one of the one-year certificate programs and then work toward the two-year degree.
The new programming consolidates three current degree programs in tourism management, tourism studies and hotel and resort management.
"This new approach to educational programming allows younger students to explore options in hospitality and then specialize, using one of the three tracks," said Jamie Rotter, assistant professor of culinary arts.
Tourism in the Finger Lakes is a $3 billion per year industry supporting nearly 60,000 jobs, according to a report by Tourism Economics, an economic analysis firm based in Philadelphia.
Starting in January, new students will be able to choose the new hospitality and tourism management degree and related certificates when they file the online application available at
flcc.edu/apply
. Prospective students can get more information during a visit to FLCC, which can be scheduled online at
flcc.edu/visit
