While classroom lectures are important to any subject area, nothing can compare to actual work experience in the field. Students in the Harrah Hotel College can obtain practical work experience through a variety of programs and settings. Students may work in the university's Hospitality Research and Development Center, gaining hands-on experience in market research; facility layout/design; tourism development; executive development and other operations areas of a resort, hotel or food-service business. Or students can travel and explore the global aspects of the industry. In the Summer Studies in Switzerland program, students learn the similarities and differences of cooking styles and wine making in different regions of Europe . They also study the hospitality industry as an international business as well as European travel and tourism. Whatever your interest, the college is your partner in helping you gain the experience you desire.
