Academic Structure
Glion Institute of Higher Education has three program divisions: the undergraduate hospitality management programs, the undergraduate event, sport and entertainment management programs, and the graduate programs. The hospitality management programs educate students in hospitality operations management, business administration, general education and industry training. The event, sport and entertainment programs offer courses covering event, sport and entertainment facility and venue management, business administration, general education and industry training.
At the undergraduate level, Glion’s associate degrees require 2 years of study and a 6-month internship. The bachelor degrees require an additional internship and a final year of study for a total of 3.5 years. In their final year at Glion, students can choose from 7 specializations in hospitality management or 5 specializations in event, sport and entertainment management.
Glion’s graduate school offers two types of degrees: master and postgraduate. The Master of Business Administration in International Hospitality & Service Industries Management has two specializations: Leadership or Marketing. This degree focuses on developing strategic management competencies and requires a dissertation. This course requires a dissertation and can be completed with full-time attendance over one year, or alternative attendance allowing for flexibility around work schedules.

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or structure:
“The academic expectations for a child just beginning school are minimal. You want your child to come to preschool feeling happy, reasonably secure, and eager to explore and learn.”
—Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)
“Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
