Hospitality Management Certificates

Kent State University at Ashtabula offers two 100 percent online certificates in Hospitality Management and Event Management. The certificate programs can be completed in as little as two semesters.

The Hospitality Management certification will cover a wide range of aspects associated with the hospitality industry, including management technology, food production, operations, casino and club management, legal issues, professional practices and more.  It will prepare graduates to assume leadership roles within the industry.

The Event Management certification covers many of those same topics, but also focuses on business practices, catering and banquet management, weddings and ceremonies and fundraising events. Graduates will be expected to fully participate in planning and executing different types of events.

Both certificates articulate into Kent State's bachelor's degree program.
