ABSTRACT
The advent of doctoral programs in hospitality management is relatively recent, and programs are growing nationwide. With this growth, there is a need to supplement the foundation of knowledge related to doctoral education in hospitality management in the United States. In particular, gaps concerning admission requirements, degree requirements, and examination structures were identified through reviews of existing literature. This study served to fill those gaps in knowledge by collecting objective, secondary data and presenting it in a descriptive format. The results indicated a curriculum that was skewed toward research and methodology rather than hospitality-based subjects. In addition, there were subtle differences between institutions regarding preliminary exams and final dissertations. This information should be useful for doctoral program administrators and prospective students pursuing higher education in hospitality management.
