Overview

In our diverse world, managing organizations has become more complex. A master’s degree provides an in-depth understanding of the fast-paced, increasingly difficult challenges in the world of hospitality, recreation, and tourism (HRT). Through exploring current literature, theories, data-driven decision making strategies, leadership, management, sustainability, marketing, trends, and industry best practices, our graduates will be prepared to make informed decisions about industry issues.

This innovative Hospitality, Recreation and Tourism degree at California State University East Bay is offered completely online. Using interactive learning activities, courses are designed to challenge and inspire intellectual growth. Because the courses are all online, students can attend class when they are ready to learn rather than at a specific time, such as in the evening after a full day of work.
