Hotel & Restaurant Management Program

The HRMT program, with its focus on premium quality service, has been highly successful since its inception in 1987. Throughout its history, the program has been committed to excellence and staying on the leading-edge of change. In light of this commitment, the College of Human Sciences and its Hotel and Restaurant Management program have entered into a partnership with The West Paces Hotel Group, L.L.C. Together they have developed a unique model for hospitality education that sets quality standards for the HRMT program congruent with the top industry standards.

An integral part of this unique academic/industry partnership is the Auburn University Hotel and Dixon Conference Center which is now an academic facility operated by The West Paces Hotel Group, L.L.C. Currently, AUHDCC is undergoing renovation to become a state-of-the-art learning laboratory for the HRMT instructional program. Members of the hotel executive management team have been designated as affiliate faculty and will team teach courses in the redesigned curriculum with HRMT professors. Students will receive both classroom theory and laboratory practice based on a model of continuous quality improvement as part of their degree requirements.
