This article describes the results of part two of a national study that asked what program content areas hotel executives, hospitality human resource specialists, and alumni of the sponsoring school believe are important to graduates entering hotel management positions. The data shows the rankings of the content areas by the three subject groups and comparisons of the rankings.
