Hospitality and Tourism Management

Niagara’s faculty features a healthy balance of seasoned professors and energetic new hires, with over 92 percent of them holding the highest degree in their field. The faculty are committed to experiential learning and many involve students in their research, making them aware of current practices and global issues. A strong relationship between students and faculty is also encouraged through advisement.

Honors Program

The Honors Program identifies academically talented and motivated students to assist them in enriching their academic experience by providing the opportunity for intensive individual learning. Our hope is that your intellectual skills will enable you to achieve wisdom that saves and hope that brings liberation to others in need.

Information Technology

A broad range of Windows based computer facilities are available for your use, with one lab open 24 hours a day. All residence halls have computer connections for each student. You are given a personal electronic mail account which is required for communication between faculty, administration and students. You also receive access to an account to a Web-based personalized student portal system and an account to a system which allows faculty to make course material available over the Internet.

Learn and Serve  

Learn and Serve Niagara promotes service-learning by addressing the needs of the community, while also enhancing your sense of social responsibility through direct service. The goal is to connect the academic content of the university classroom with service to the community, while engaging in thoughtful reflection over the semester. Learn and Serve Niagara places you in local schools and agencies for approximately 15-20 hours each semester. You will also have the opportunity to earn service hours at one day events sponsored by NUCAP (Niagara University Community Action program). These one day events can include neighborhood clean-ups, working with the developmentally disabled or visiting area nursing homes. You are required to participate in one Learn and Serve office at least once during your NU experience, but we hope to see you each and every semester!

 Library

The Library offers research assistance, online access to most of its databases, books, periodicals, recreational novels and DVDs. There are three group study rooms, one with a television to view DVDs and videos. Food and drink is allowed in the library with vending machines on the second floor. You can send and receive personal faxes up to 10 pages in length.

Major and Career Planning

The Office of Career Development (OCD) is another resource available from day one of your first year. The OCD connects you with part-time job opportunities, cooperative education or internship placements, and provides career counseling and job search preparation. The result is a high placement rate for Niagara graduates. Within six months of graduation, 89 percent of NU graduates find a job and 33 percent continued on to graduate school.
