Master of Science in Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Management
The master of science in Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Management (M.S. HRIM) is a one-and-a-half year program for students wishing to develop a research focus with the intent of continuing a career in an academic or research area.
This master’s degree is a research/academic degree rather than an industry/professional master's degree. The program is designed to help students develop solid graduate-level research skills focused within a hospitality research area.
