Passion for People, Excellence in Service, & Leadership in Management

Over 20 million people visit Seattle annually (source: Visit Seattle). From recently building one of the largest cruise terminals in the world to SeaTac Airport undergoing a massive renovation, tourism infrastructure has experienced enormous growth in a short period of time.
To support this growth, Seattle and surrounding areas are in desperate need of passionate individuals to work in the Hospitality and Tourism sector. This means more internships, jobs, and careers at higher wages than ever before.
Hospitality & Tourism Management at 蘑菇视频 College offers an associate degree with numerous emphasis areas for you to pursue your personal passions. These emphasis areas align with Seattle area job growth. Each emphasis area is more than a job; each emphasis area offers a career.
