Ask & Answer: India's Largest Education Community

Hi.

Yes, Dnyaan Prasad Global University (DPGU)'s School of Hospitality & Tourism (SHT) does offer opportunities for interdisciplinary and elective study as part of its curriculum, especially in the BBA (Hospitality)‑Honours / Honours with Research program:

1. Elective & Multi‑Disciplinary Framework

 The hospitality programme explicitly includes choice‑based credits and elective options that allow students to study subjects beyond core hospitality topics.
The BBA (Hospitality) programme description notes provisions for a multi‑disciplinary approach and specialisation electives in areas such as Culinary Arts, Mixology, Cruise Ship Operations, Facilities Management, and Travel & Tourism — giving students flexibility to explore allied areas of hospitality and tourism management as part of their degree. 

2. What This Means

Interdisciplinary / Elective Components

• The curriculum structure *explicitly mentions a multi‑disciplinary approach and the availability of elective/specialization courses in hospitality‑related fields. 

This means students can choose courses outside the core subjects — for example:

• Culinary Arts

• Mixology

• Cruise Line Operations

• Facilities Management

• Travel & Tourism
  These electives allow learners to tailor their education toward interests within (and related to) hospitality and tourism. 

3. Interdisciplinarity Encouraged

Although the official SHT curriculum page doesn't list generic electives from completely different schools (like psychology, business, design, etc.), the multi‑disciplinary wording and elective options indicate that students are not limited to strictly traditional hotel management coursework. This is consistent with modern university curricula that support cross‑disciplinary learning within related fields.

Hi.

Yes, Dnyaan Prasad Global University (DPGU)'s School of Hospitality & Tourism (SHT) does offer specializations as part of its programs, especially within the BBA and Integrated MBA (Hospitality Management) curriculum.

1. Specialization Focus Areas Within Programs

At DPGU‑SHT, certain specialisation elective options are built into the hospitality curriculum — meaning students can tailor parts of their studies toward specific areas of the industry. These include:

Culinary Arts — practical and creative preparation and kitchen operations skills.
Mixology — beverage management and bar service expertise.
Cruise Ship Operations — understanding how cruise hospitality and logistics operate globally.
Facilities Management — managing facilities and guest services in large hospitality setups.
Travel & Tourism — skills and insights into tour operations, travel management, and tourism services.

These specializations come as elective options within the broader program, helping students build specialised knowledge alongside core hospitality management studies.

2. Program Structure That Supports Specialisation

DPGU‑SHT offers the following main degree pathways where these specialisation streams are embedded:

BBA (Hospitality) – Honours / Honours with Research

• Includes elective choices in the areas listed above.

BBA Integrated MBA (Hospitality Management)

• A 5‑year integrated degree with specialisation options built into the curriculum to equip students with both operational and strategic leadership skills in hospitality and allied sectors.

Ph.D. in Hotel Management

• The doctoral programme allows research in hospitality management (though its focus is on research rather than fixed “specializations” like in undergraduate programs).
