About the Undergraduate Program

 

www.HRIM.udel.edu

 

The College of Human Services, Education and Public Policy offers the Hotel, Restaurant & Institutional Management (HRIM) major, which leads to a Bachelor of Science degree.   It is a four-year major with a curriculum based in liberal arts, business and specialized courses in technical applications for the hotel and restaurant industries.

 

The University of Delaware `s Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management has been ranked sixth and seventh in the top hospitality programs in the USA, tied with one of the oldest hospitality programs in the nation and ahead of many more well-known programs, according to an article in the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Education, published by the Council on Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Education

 

The HRIM Campus program is limited to 400 students. The program can be characterized as large enough to lead, but small enough to care. The curriculum is structured to provide both a practical and theoretical education.
