- Abstract
This study applied gap analysis to assess the satisfaction of hospitality management alumni of a historically black college/university (HBCU) in the Southeast United States with their curriculum, in terms of preparing them for their careers. The study results suggest that there are aspects of the HBCU's hospitality management curriculum that are either overemphasized or underemphasized relative to their career value, as perceived by alumni. As generalizable knowledge, the study demonstrates how gap analysis might be used by hospitality management program administrators to assure that the curriculum remains relevant in a changing industry and job market.
