RIT’s American College of Management and Technology in Dubrovnik, Croatia.

The School of Hospitality and Service Management began its international hospitality program in 1997 when it opened the American College of Management and Technology in Dubrovnik, Croatia. RIT was chosen from among several prestigious American universities to be the academic model for revitalizing the Croatian hospitality sector. The college offers an Associates Degree and a Bachelor of Science degree in Hotel Resort Management, a new Master of Science degree in Service Management, and several certificate programs to serve the local tourism industries. The certificate programs are funded by the United States Agency for International Development for managers transitioning from the old communist regime to the free enterprise system.

Students gain an understanding of other cultures and traditions and are better prepared to work with people no matter where they begin their careers.
