With the recent boom in hospitality and tourism comes a new need for professionals who can understand, teach, and apply the methodologies behind good hospitality. Could that be you? 

Boston University now has two master’s programs for you to choose from: a one-year Master of Management in Hospitality (MMH) focused on experience-based hospitality leadership and a new two-year Master of Science in Hospitality Management (MSHM) focused on academic research and Ph.D. preparation.
