Hospitality and Tourism is the 21st century’s fastest growing industry in the world.
ESU's Hospitality, Recreation and Tourism Management programs are uniquely tied to the Pocono Mountains region hospitality industry and prepare students to excel in the challenging modern-day hospitality environment. The programs offer a comprehensive foundation of courses and an opportunity for students to select elective courses within specific areas of industry interest.

The Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism Management program at East Stroudsburg University provided me with the knowledge and practical skills needed to succeed in the hospitality industry. I currently serve as a Food and Beverage Manager at the Nassau Inn, overseeing a full-service restaurant with a focus on quality and guest satisfaction. I also work as a Wedding Maitre D’, coordinating event timelines, vendors, and serving as the primary contact for couples to ensure their day runs seamlessly.
