The Hospitality and Tourism Management degree includes a one-year-old major in Esports Management. The Entrepreneurship degree and the Hospitality and Tourism Management degree are offered in-person and asynchronous online. The Department also contributes to delivering the undergraduate business core and the MBA program. The faculty members in the Department are very active in research and in the recent past and have published in such journals as Journal of Marketing Research, Journal of Marketing, Annals of Tourism Research, Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, Journal of Business Ethics, Journal of Business Research, Journal of Management Studies, and Tourism Management to name a few. The Bryan School has more than 4,100 undergraduate and graduate students and more than 120 full- and part-time faculty members housed in six departments. The Bryan School takes great pride in being one of the most diverse business schools in the UNC system. More than 54 percent of the Bryan School’s enrolled (and graduating!) students are from underrepresented ethnic groups (UREG) and 53 percent are women. UNCG has a history as the women’s college of the UNC system, has been designated a Minority Serving Institution (MSI) and a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), and is the top performer for social mobility in North Carolina, according to The Wall Street Journal. Additionally, approximately 26 percent of all faculty are from UREG and 43 percent of the School’s faculty are women. The School is committed to the continued growth of these percentages. With that in mind, applications belonging to traditionally underrepresented groups are encouraged.
