How can I choose a business related major at KSU?

You can declare a business "interest" right away. Typically, you will officially declare your major in your Sophomore year through Owl Express.

Select a Major in:

      • Opportunities to travel, see the world, learn about other cultures, and connect with people
      • Hospitality and tourism is the 5th largest employer in Georgia
      • Experiential learning through internships or hospitality experience

      The hospitality industry is incredibly diverse spanning industries like hotels and restaurants, meeting, convention and event planning, tourism, sports and entertainment food service, and more. Students can specialize their knowledge through work experience and/or choosing a minor to add value to their degree.

      We provide a quality education at the intersection of service management and analytics, through offering courses in guest service management, revenue management, and strategic analytics in hospitality. In this age of Big Data, the prospective program will equip students with the skills to analyze and interpret how external and internal factors influence decision making in hospitality enterprises, and thereby impact financial performance.
