A powerful learning arena where passionate students, inspiring teachers and industry
leaders come together to advance the world’s customer experience industries.
Welcome to the College of Hospitality, Retail and Sport Management at the University
of South Carolina! We are a community of travelers, sports fanatics, foodies, retail
therapists and moment makers. But this isn’t a hobby. It’s business.
Industry expertise, experiential learning and career development are hallmarks of
our education programs. The college is home to world-renowned faculty who are celebrated
for advancing their fields as trailblazers and who are passionate about sharing their
knowledge and experience with the next generation of leaders.
We have four primary fields of study : Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management; Interdisciplinary Studies; Retailing;
and Sport and Entertainment Management. These industries have the power to connect
cultures, inspire adventure, strengthen global economies and enrich people’s lives.
It’s no wonder we love what we do.
