The Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management (BSHM), as defined in the Commission on Higher Education CMO No.62, Series of 2017, aims to equip the students with competencies that are needed to execute operational tasks and management functions in food production (Culinary), accommodation, food and beverage service, events planning, transportation services, and other emerging sectors of the hospitality and tourism industry. The program consists of two (2) specializations; the BSHM Culinary Arts and Kitchen Operations and the BSHM Cruiseline Operations, with both specializations focusing on preparing its graduates to become global leaders and managers for various hospitality industry segments.
Extending beyond the minimum requirements of the Commission and other existing statutory standards, SDCA ensures that its Bachelor of Hospitality Management (BSHM) achieves its pre-defined educational objectives (PEO) and program outcomes (PO). The BSHM program equips its graduates with leadership skills, a passion for research, a sense of social responsibility consistent with Dominican values, and strong professional affiliations. This ensures that graduates emerge as competent, mature, and socially conscious executives who are well-equipped to face the challenges of the international market.The program outcomes of both academic programs emphasize advanced knowledge, self-directed research, lifelong learning, and the practical implementation of acquired skills in order to emphasize the commitment to producing well-rounded graduates. These results reinforce the SDCA’s fundamental values. The capacity to utilize technological resources to effectively apply critical and research skills, participate in a multicultural society, and independently and creatively complete tasks is a quality that is universally possessed by all graduates. SDCA demonstrates a comprehensive approach to education through its commitment to cultivating leaders who are morally upright, socially accountable, and perpetually seeking to improve themselves and contribute positively to society.
