The Internet is increasingly being employed to provide educational programs to a diverse student population. Many hospitality programs are using this technology to offer graduate curriculum to individuals currently working in the industry. Most of these students could not attend a conventional graduate program and an Internet-based program allows them the convenience and flexibility they desire. This article examines some of the reasons why hospitality education programs should establish graduate distance programs. A timeline of activities required to develop a graduate distance education program is presented, and a summary is provided for those hospitality educators interested in developing a graduate distance education program of their own.
