Our Faculty

Personalized instruction is designed to provide for creativity and comprehension, as well as strategies for success. The primary relationship is between instructor and student, and to this end full time, credentialed faculty from several disciplines teach core curriculum, and are ably assisted by instructors and guest lecturers representing vital sectors of the allied hospitality industries.

An excellent faculty to student ratio insures that each student will receive personalized attention and guidance. Each curricular student is assigned a faculty advisor who will facilitate the student's entry into and progress through the curriculum, as well as provide career planning and placement guidance. All faculty maintain office hours and they readily avail themselves for tutoring, scheduling and special needs of each student.
