An Opportunity to Grow and Explore
The Master of Hospitality Administration (MHA) degree program is an exciting, self-paced, online degree opportunity for professionals in the hospitality industry. Each course will lend power to your everyday activities as you employ new ideas and draw on time-honored theories. When you complete your professional paper — the culmination of your learning experience — you will take the learning opportunities right into your office as you focus on a challenging issue facing your company.

This program was designed with the busy professional in mind. Offered totally online, this program allows one to live anywhere in the world, work and travel and still receive a master’s degree from an accredited, internationally renowned university.

Program Structure
Classes run continuously throughout the year in five eight-week sessions, and you can being the program at any time. This 30-credit program is composed of ten, three-credit courses:

five required courses
four electives
professional paper

At least two required courses and two electives are offered in each session. All books and materials are included in the course fee and shipped directly to your door upon registration.

Courses are offered online via WebCampus, a course management program. A computer and a password are all you need to access your course materials and assignments. You will even take tests and upload your homework assignments and papers through this system. WebCampus has networking features including a discussion board, email system and real-time chat capabilities for communicating with your professor and other students. Professors make themselves available by phone or online so questions and concerns can be addressed in a timely manner.

In a hurry to finish? Although the program is usually completed in 18 to 24 months, the degree can be completed in one year. One can take both courses each of four sessions and tie everything together by taking a required course and working on the professional paper during the fifth session. On the other hand, you might find yourself very busy at work with pressing deadlines. Then you can simply skip a session, scheduling classes for a less busy time. It’s up to you – it’s your program.

An important component of the program is the faculty. The same professors who teach face-to-face on campus teach the online courses.
