Establishing a Hospitality Management Program at UofL

The University of Louisville College of Business is thrilled to announce a generous $500,000 gift from the Louisville Hotel Partnership to establish a new minor in Hospitality Management. This initiative is a pivotal step in equipping our students with the skills needed to thrive in Louisville’s vibrant tourism and hospitality industry.

The new Hospitality Management minor will offer students from all majors a comprehensive curriculum, focusing on essential skills such as operations, service quality, and financial analysis in the hospitality sector. This program will also provide invaluable experiential learning opportunities, including internships and co-ops, facilitated by our industry partners.

With this gift, we are not only enhancing our academic offerings but also strengthening the pipeline of qualified hospitality professionals in the Greater Louisville area. This partnership reflects our commitment to fostering industry-relevant education and ensuring our graduates are well-prepared to meet the demands of the rapidly growing hospitality sector.

We are excited to collaborate with local hospitality leaders to shape this program and look forward to its launch in Spring 2025
