Emergency Alert
UDC Operating Remotely on Friday, Jan. 30

The University of the District of Columbia’s academic and administrative offices will conduct business remotely on Friday, Jan. 30. All on-campus activities, including athletic-related activities, are cancelled.

Campuses will reopen on Monday, Feb. 2.

Staff: Contact your immediate supervisor with questions or for further instruction regarding remote work expectations. 

Faculty: Reach out to your immediate supervisor and/or the dean for questions and further instruction regarding the transition to emergency remote instruction (ERI).  The Center for the Advancement of Learning (CAL) is available to support faculty with instructional continuity, including support for Blackboard, Zoom, Webex and other teaching and learning technologies.

Consultation Request Form

For learning technology tools and on-demand faculty resources, please visit CAL’s website.

Students: Due to inclement weather, the university will be closed to face-to-face operations. Instruction will be moved to emergency remote, including synchronous and asynchronous methods. Certain laboratory, clinical, and other hands-on classes for which in-person instruction is a requirement may necessitate a make-up lesson, but every effort will be made to pursue virtual learning to the extent possible. Where synchronous virtual instruction is intended, published class meeting times must be observed so that students’ schedules are not disrupted.

The safety and security of our students, faculty, staff, and the broader community remain our top priority. We will continue to provide updates regarding the status of the university’s academic and administrative offices as conditions change.

Please continue to check our website and social media channels for the latest information.

If you have any safety concerns, contact OPSEM at 202-274-5050. For all immediate emergencies, call 911.

Thank you for your continued dedication to our students and to UDC’s mission.

Program Overview

Associate of Science in Hospitality and Tourism Management

The Associate of Science in Hospitality and Tourism Management provides students with the knowledge and skills needed to serve in entry positions in the hospitality industry — the second largest industry in the Washington metropolitan area. The program is designed for three groups of students: those who wish to start careers in the hospitality industry, employees of hospitality service organizations seeking to acquire additional knowledge and skills, and individuals interested in making a career transition. The program provides an overview of the basic elements of hospitality service management, including planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Also, the program covers hotels and restaurants and exposes students to the legal and marketing aspects of hospitality service organizations.

Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:

  • Interpret and articulate written and oral communications as appropriate for hospitality environments.
