The hospitality industry offers many opportunities for employment and as a result learning experiences are varied. The program provides students with instruction in management of food preparation, production and service in the classroom and in on campus labs. Students gain supervised concentrated front-of-the-house industry experience and exposure to food preparation and production in an off campus commercial restaurant operation which is open to the public and located in downtown Harrisburg.
