Students may study accounting, purchasing and control, front office procedures, math, business theory, and personnel management. Restaurant management programs also include course work in nutrition, menu planning, and food handling and storage. Programs in trade show/convention management and gaming management are also available. Programs are offered at universities, community colleges, and vocational schools.
