You would need at least five years of mid/upper level work experience in the hotel industry in addition to completing a financial accounting course at the post-secondary level with a grade of 'C'.

2. If you do not have the recommended courses for admission (Accounting and English Composition), you can consider taking them through RRU's Continuing Studies.

If you are an international student and do not meet the English language requirements, you have the option of applying for the first-year entry to the Bachelor of Arts in International Hotel Management program with English language support.
