Job Outlook
Maryland’s largest private employer, the hospitality industry, continues to expand here and across the nation. Federal projections indicate that the hospitality industry will grow 13-18 percent, depending on the specialty, through 2010. Career prospects are best for those with a college education and training.

Degree and Certificate Programs
Programs cover the essentials from the specific hospitality and culinary skills to the business and human-relations skills. We stress hands-on learning.
