The Department of Hospitality Management, under the College of Management and Business Technology at Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology (NEUST), stands as one of the university's nine distinguished academic colleges. Established through Board Resolution No. 128-B, s. 2007, the department began its journey under the College of Arts and Sciences in 2008, guided by Dean Lolita F. Joson. It flourished further under the leadership of Dr. Angel A. Pangilinan, who facilitated its transition to independence and relocation to the NEUST Sumacab Campus. With the exemplary stewardship of Dean Marilou P. Pascual in 2014, the department expanded its scope through holistic and transformative academic and extracurricular initiatives.
The College implemented its revised Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management curriculum in A.Y. 2018-2019 in compliance with CHED Memorandum Order No. 62, s. 2017. Today, under the visionary leadership of its current dean, Dr. Sarah C. Alvarez, the department continues to elevate its standards, aspiring to become a premier institution in hospitality education not just in the Philippines but on the global stage driven by innovation, academic excellence, and industry relevance. The BSHM program is also Level IV accredited, reflecting mature systems and strong outcomes in instruction, research, and extension.
This table presents the curriculum distribution of the program by comparing the minimum academic units required by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) with the units prescribed by the university.
The curriculum meets all of CHED's minimum requirements in General Education (36 units), National Service Training Program (6 units), Physical Education (8 units), Business and Management Education (6 units), Tourism and Hospitality Core (30 units), Professional Courses (30 units), and Practicum (6 units/600 hours).
The primary difference is in Professional Electives, where CHED requires a minimum of 15 units while the university provides 30 units, adding 15 more units to enhance specialization, industry competencies, and flexibility.
Overall, while CHED requires a minimum of 137 academic units, the university offers 152 academic units, exceeding the minimum by 15 units to better prepare graduates for the hospitality and tourism industry.

The curriculum map illustrates the recommended sequence of courses for the Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management program from the first year to the fourth year. It organizes courses by semester and uses color coding to classify them into General Education, Tourism and Hospitality Core, Hospitality Professional Courses, Business and Management Education, Professional Electives, PATHFit, NSTP, Institutional Requirements, and Practicum.
The arrows indicate prerequisite relationships among courses, showing that certain subjects must be successfully completed before enrolling in more advanced courses. This structured progression helps students build foundational competencies before undertaking specialized hospitality courses and culminates in the Practicum/Internship, where they apply their learning in an actual industry setting.
The NEUST Educational Philosophy Statement emphasizes that education is a transformative and holistic process that develops learners intellectually, morally, socially, and professionally to contribute to sustainable societal development. Anchored on the University's core values of Nationalism, Excellence, Unity, Spirituality, and Transparency, NEUST promotes a learner-centered, research-driven, and socially responsive educational environment. It views knowledge not as a fixed body of information but as something that is actively created through inquiry, innovation, research, collaboration, and meaningful community engagement.
The philosophy is guided by three complementary educational perspectives: Social Reconstructionism, Constructivism, and Humanism. Social Reconstructionism highlights the role of education in addressing societal challenges and preparing students to become responsible agents of social change. Constructivism emphasizes active, experiential, and research-based learning. Humanism focuses on holistic development of the learner by nurturing character, values, emotional well-being, and self-actualization.
Program description: The programs related to the fields of hospitality and tourism education will equip students with competencies that are needed to execute operational tasks and management functions in food production (culinary), accommodation, food and beverage service, tourism planning and product development, events planning, transportation services, travel and tour operations, and other emerging sectors of the hospitality and tourism industry.
