9 hospitality management programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

5 schools offer these hospitality management programs, and Minnesota has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did. One school runs 4 of these 9 programs, so the typical figures lean heavily on its prices and results.

In Minnesota, all 9 programs ask for a high school diploma or equivalent.

By kind, the 9 programs here are hospitality and hotel management certificate or course (4 programs), hospitality management (associate degree, 2 programs), restaurant and food service management certificate or course (2 programs) and event planning certificate or course (1 program).

How to pay for hospitality management programs in Minnesota

WIOA funding can pay for hospitality management programs in Minnesota

Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?

Financial aid and grants for hospitality management programs

Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.67

GI Bill for hospitality management programs

Veterans, service members and qualified dependents can use GI Bill benefits for non-college training programs.8

The program list does not show which programs accept these. Ask the school.

Where the Minnesota hospitality management program numbers come from

Which Minnesota hospitality management programs are on this list?

These are the hospitality management programs Minnesota approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Minnesota offers.

How the prices and results of Minnesota hospitality management programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
