Baton Rouge, La. – The Southern University College of Agricultural, Family and Consumer Sciences received approval from the Southern University Board of Supervisors to offer a new online B.S. degree in Hospitality and Food Industry Leadership (HFIL). The approval was granted during the board’s June 18, 2021 monthly meeting in New Orleans.

 

The College received approval of their Letter of Intent for the 120-semester hour program from the Louisiana Board of Regents on March 26, 2021.

 

The HFIL program is designed to prepare students to become leaders and managers in the hospitality industry. The curriculum will include online classes, required work experiences, and a structured internship. Tracks for the program will include food and beverage management, lodging management, and event management.

 

Students will have the knowledge, skills, and ability to assume leadership and professional roles within the global hospitality, food, and tourism industry and related careers.
