The Hospitality Management curriculum is designed to serve both students who plan to enter the workforce upon graduation as well as students who wish to pursue a baccalaureate degree. Trocaire College has articulation agreements with Niagara University, S.U.N.Y. Buffalo State College and Paul Smith's College.


The Russell J. Salvatore School of Hospitality and Business at Trocaire College offers students 'hands-on' experience with our unique partnership at both the Garden Place Hotel and Salvatore's Italian Gardens Restaurant. The curriculum is designed to develop the skills and abilities required for a successful career in hospitality management. Career opportunities exist for managers in hotels, restaurants, clubs, catering operations, food service providers, sales, production, travel and tourism and many other areas of this dynamic, growing and rapidly evolving industry.


The hospitality industry is one of the top economic drivers in the Western New York economy. Development and employment opportunity in this field is projected to continue a growth pattern through at least 2020 with outstanding positions available for our graduates in Western New York. Our combination of meaningful classroom instruction, 'hands-on' experience, and our valuable hospitality internship culminate in a quality education for tomorrow's industry leaders.
