Is hospitality a science course?

Hospitality Is a Social Science: What Does That Mean? (Part I) By Dr. Gary L. Deel, Ph.D., J.D. Faculty Director,, American Public University This is the first of a two-part article on hospitality as a social science. Hospitality education differs from other disciplines such as Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) in that hospitality is a social science, a discipline that studies the interactions of people.

• STEM programs, on the other hand, study what are commonly referred to as “hard sciences” that deal mainly with the dynamics of other phenomena such as the workings of matter, numbers theories, artificial intelligence and the like.
• This distinction is important, because social sciences and hard sciences are vastly different.

Hard sciences in many cases have established solid theoretical foundations, so solid in fact that they are referred to as laws. Take physics, for example, where one finds that heat transfer is governed by the laws of thermodynamics, planetary motion is governed by Newton’s laws of motion, and even the volume of matter is bound by the more than 2,000-year-old Archimedes Principle.
