Prerequisites
Hospitality business management at Everett is a degree completion program. Students should complete the majority of the Washington State University general education (UCORE) requirements before enrolling. We recommend pursuing one of Washington’s transferable associate’s degrees; these degrees will fulfill most of Washington State University’s general education (UCORE) requirements and usually will confer junior standing upon enrollment at WSU in Everett.
