About Us

NMSU offers the only Bachelor of Science degree in Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management in the state of New Mexico. The degree is available both in-person and online. In addition to applied business classes such as accounting, human resources, and hotel operations, it allows students to explore diverse careers in hospitality and tourism. This specialized management degree prepares students with practical work experience, and hands-on education in our food production and service lab facilities – including our student run 100 West Café, and the Bobby Lee Lawrence Academy of Wine. Students also have opportunities for internships, including the Courtyard by Marriott next to the NMSU campus. The program is home to devoted, student-centered faculty who personally mentor students. The School of HRTM offers generous scholarships through NMSU and related industry partners, as well as additional career development, and community outreach opportunities through the grant funded Marriott Hospitality Futures Center.
