University of Wisconsin-South Plans Unique Degreed Program for Hospitality Managers


Eric Brey
Menomonie, WI — The University of Wisconsin-Stout is about to launch a unique master’s degree program to give established managers in the hospitality industry a chance to advance their careers.

 The Master of Science degree in hospitality strategy is intended for professionals who already have management experience, said Eric Brey, the new program’s director.

“We are focused on turning operational experience into leadership capabilities,” Brey said, “so all students will have to have some level of supervisory experience in an industry related to hospitality and tourism.”

While other institutions offer advanced degrees in hospitality and tourism, he said, no one offers the focused curriculum found in this program.

“It is the only program of its kind in the world,” Brey said. “We are the first program to focus on creating industry leaders who think strategically about business leadership by focusing on the needs of the customer.
