What are the best community colleges (or best value schools) to obtain an Associate's in Hospitality/Tourism Management at? I would prefer North Eastern states but I'm looking all over the country too.

I will be an international student so low price is a priority here, but so are internship opportunities before and after graduation (hotels, cruise lines, travel agencies, corporate travel, event planning, etc.)

I've considered NY (city and state), Boston area, Chicago and Portland as well, but I'm lost when it comes to school recognition and career opportunities.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I work for the hotel industry; Hospitality Management is pretty much a four-year degree.

I would look to the Community Colleges in high-demand tourist areas. Orlando and Las Vegas would top the list for affordability and access to a wide range of internship possibilities. The Northeast US is going to be very expensive and be somewhat limited in terms of internships.

Check out Valencia CC in Orlando Hospitality and Culinary - Majors&Degrees - Future Students - Valencia Community College (http://valenciacc.edu/futureStudents/majors/hospitality.cfm - broken link)

Check out the College of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas
Hospitality Management

If you really want to stay in the Northeast US, SUNY-Cobleskill offers an Associate's Degree in several Hospitality oriented programs and has financial aid available for international students, which is very unusual.

UNLV, (not a community college), is the "best" school in the western states for that discipline.
