The Hospitality and Tourism Management industry is extensive and can be overwhelming for students to determine possible career paths. A survey of graduates of Appalachian State University's Hospitality and Tourism Management was conducted. This surveyed aimed to answer the questions what career paths can be pursued with a Hospitality and Tourism Management degree and how beneficial is having this degree in finding a job within this industry. The survey also analyzed graduates' perceptions of the program and what changes should be made.
