About Internships
Each year, an average of 600 Hospitality College students expand their professional development by participating in hospitality internships throughout the US or in their home country. Internship experience can be combined with a 3-credit online course, offered each fall, spring, and summer semester.
Internship experience and course HMD 351 is required for all students entering the program beginning fall 2025. Students may also retake HMD 351 if they would like to do an additional internship for elective credits. To determine your internship eligibility for the course, please contact the Boughner Center for Career Services at 702-895-5554 or boughnercareerservices@unlv.edu.
