I've had the honor of receiving a full scholarship for my Master Degree in Hospitality Management at USF MUMA and that was one of the most enjoyable experiences. The faculty stuff and the program itself is so interesting and fun. And what's more important is that we've had many hands-on experiences that are related to hospitality training, such as hosting events, planning dinners and attending conferences, all funded by the Hospitality Faculty. I am so grateful for this opportunity and the knowledge I received. Thank you!
