"Ever since I used to help my mother prepare for her company’s annual gala fundraisers, I’ve wanted to be involved in organizing special events. During a trip to Europe in my last year of high school, I realized that working on large-scale events like the Olympics would allow me to see the world. When I got home an information package about George Brown's Hospitality Operations Management degree was waiting for me, and after taking a tour I knew it was meant to be. The facilities here are awesome, the teachers are friendly, the school atmosphere is welcoming and down-to-earth, and knowing I will graduate with a well-rounded bachelor’s degree is the icing on the cake. Hospitality is all about offering superior services; you do this best by understanding how different areas of the business are connected to each other. At the same time we’re learning the management theories behind the industry, we’re being trained in the practical skills we’ll need every day in the workplace. Also, the courses here were developed along with leaders of the hospitality industry, so I know that I’ll leave this program with exactly the types of skills potential employers are looking for. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll even start my own event management company!"

Alicia Paczek (Student)
Hospitality Operations Management


“When I was applying to college, I knew that I wanted to study hospitality and tourism and at the time, George Brown College was the only school that offered a diploma in Hospitality, Tourism and Leisure. The two-year program was an excellent learning opportunity and it made me realize that I wanted to pursue further education in this field.

“Again, George Brown was the first to offer a Bachelor of Applied Business degree in Hospitality Operations Management. Because I had completed the Hospitality, Tourism and Leisure diploma, I was eligible to enrol in a bridging program and then transition into the third year of the BABH program.

“The degree program provided me with a more diverse education and a deeper understanding of the hospitality industry from a management perspective. And the most wonderful part – I completed a diploma and a degree in four years.”


Virginia Godziek (2007 graduate, Bachelor of Applied Business – Hospitality Operations Management and Diploma – Hospitality, Tourism and Leisure)
