Wisconsin colleges that awarded Hospitality Management credentials
11 colleges in Wisconsin reported conferring Hospitality Management credentials to the federal IPEDS collection in 2023-24, and every one of them also awarded in the year before. 11 awarded a degree. That is a record of credentials already awarded, not confirmation that a program is currently admitting.
Colleges and what they awarded
Largest first by credentials conferred in 2023-24. That order measures the size of the graduating class and nothing else: it is not a ranking, and the largest entry is often a certificate provider rather than the strongest degree program. The credential is labelled on every row for exactly that reason.
| College | Credentials awarded | Highest level |
|---|---|---|
| University of Wisconsin-Stout | 31 | Degree |
| Northeast Wisconsin Technical College | 9 | Degree |
| Fox Valley Technical College | 8 | Degree |
| Madison Area Technical College | 6 | Degree |
| Mid-State Technical College | 4 | Degree |
| Concordia University-Wisconsin | 3 | Degree |
| Gateway Technical College | 3 | Degree |
| Lakeland University | 2 | Degree |
| Blackhawk Technical College | 1 | Degree |
| Milwaukee Area Technical College | 1 | Degree |
| Waukesha County Technical College | 1 | Degree |

Most Hospitality Management credentials awarded in Wisconsin were bachelor's degrees. That is 11 percentage points less weighted toward bachelor's degrees than the field nationally, where they are 63% of credentials. A certificate is a different credential from a degree, not a lesser one, and the level a program awards is set by the program rather than by the student.
We measured how much this varies nationwide, and for most fields the credential level is set by the field rather than the state: is your major a certificate or a degree?
How concentrated it is. The single college with the largest reported graduating class in this field accounted for 45% of Wisconsin’s Hospitality Management credentials. Activity is spread across several institutions rather than sitting with one.
What these Wisconsin colleges cost
Median net price across the 11 of these 11 colleges that report it, by family income. Net price is what students receiving federal aid actually paid for the WHOLE college after grants and scholarships, so it is not the price of a Hospitality Management program specifically, and not a quote for any family.

What this evidence does and does not prove
This lists colleges that reported conferring credentials in this field to the federal IPEDS completions collection, in both 2022-23 and 2023-24. It does not confirm that any of them is currently admitting students to the program, and a college can appear here after deciding to close it. Confirm with the institution before it affects where you apply.
How this list was built
From the U.S. Department of Education IPEDS completions collection, matched to each college on its exact federal program classification. A college appears only if it conferred credentials in both 2022-23 and 2023-24, which is what separates a running program from one that has already closed.
This page exists because its list of colleges is materially different from that of every closely related field in Wisconsin — the fields a reader could otherwise mistake it for, such as two engineering disciplines, or nursing and practical nursing. Where a related field resolves to the same colleges, the second page would be the first one with its title changed, and CampusPin does not publish it. Sharing colleges with an unrelated field is different, and not a reason to withhold the page: in most states the same colleges award business, psychology and biology alike, which says something about the colleges rather than about the fields. We measured exactly how often that happens, and published the result: does choosing a major narrow your college list?
What Hospitality Management graduates go on to do
Occupations the federal CIP–SOC crosswalk associates with Hospitality Management, ordered by projected annual openings. National figures: openings and pay do not vary by where you studied, and the crosswalk describes related fields rather than a required or guaranteed path.

Crosswalk: U.S. Department of Education (NCES), CIP 2020 to SOC 2018. Pay and projections: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (2024 wages, Employment Projections). “Most entrants hold” is what BLS observes about people already in the occupation, not a legal requirement, an admission rule, or a guarantee of entry. Projected openings are a projection, not jobs promised.
