The
initial educational objectives of the Institute were to conduct
both credit and non-credit educational activities in the field
of Tourism and Hospitality Management. In 1983, the Institute's
advisory board was successful in lobbying the Florida University
System's Board of Regents for the creation of a Hospitality
Management undergraduate degree program at UCF. Since then,
the Department of Hospitality Management and its successor,
the Rosen College of Hospitality Management, has taken over
the baccalaureate program activities while the institute continued
to offer non-credit educational programs aimed at improving
professionalism in the industry.
