Why Hilton College?

There are literally hundreds of reasons to choose the Hilton College. For those who ask why you're working so hard, we offer five compelling reasons.

1. Reputation
The Hilton College is consistently rated as one of the top hospitality programs in the world. We have cultivated relationships with the industry's top employers, organizations and associations. Our graduates continue to excel and open the doors for those who follow. By joining the Hilton College, you join a worldwide network of hospitality professionals and a program with global brand recognition.

2. Location, Location, Location
Sure, we're driving distance from the beach and the Texas Hill Country. We enjoy a semi-tropical climate and hundreds of parks and open spaces suited for outdoor recreation and relaxation. We're perfectly located for enjoying your free time outside of class. But the Hilton College is also ideally situated to help you build your career.

Our location, within the Hilton University of Houston Hotel and Conference Center, puts you in the middle of the action from your first day on campus. UH's location, minutes from downtown, means you're within easy access of sports and arts venues, restaurants and hotels and job opportunities.

3. Thousands of Jobs
And that's only in Houston. The hospitality industry is the world's leading employer, and our students are well-prepared to take advantage of the myriad opportunities here and abroad. Study abroad programs can help you gain international experience. Mary Douglas and Stephanie Witowski can help you find both part-time and full-time work. Twice annual career fairs bring recruiters from hospitality's leading employers right to our campus, and don't forget our network of alumni — 1,500 in Houston alone.

4. To Dream BIG
Hilton College undergraduates pursue very personal goals. Some would like to one day own a restaurant, others manage a resort or a four-star hotel, still others would like to coordinate events or work in marketing, technology or human resources. Because our curriculum combines business courses with specialized hospitality knowledge, our graduates explore a number of options and find the dream that best fits their interests and skill set.

What does this mean to you? You can map out your future right here, surrounded by a small, close-knit group of students, faculty and staff who quickly feel like long-time friends and even family.

5. You Belong
You can feel the sense of community from the minute you visit our campus. Hilton College undergraduates may come from all over the world, but they share a warmth and inclusiveness that makes everyone feel welcome. Here, you're part of a small college in the midst of all the excitement and resources of a major university. And, from day one, you belong.

Our College is a better place with you in it. Thank you for contributing to our reputation and community through your work and service.
