Hospitality Management

From some of the world’s largest high-class resorts to quaint clubs and dining hotspots, graduates from the Iowa State University Hospitality Management program are making their mark from coast to coast — and everywhere in between.

The Hospitality Management major at Iowa State is known world-wide for its excellence in research. It was recently ranked 15th among the world’s top 100 hospitality and tourism programs, according to the Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research.

On campus, students have access to great learning labs, such as the Joan Bice Underwood Tearoom — a 105-seat dining facility. Our approximately 200 Hospitality Management students also benefit from smaller classroom sizes where faculty can get to know them.
