ENEB Master Thread

[BadSquirrelBeta]

I checked over the new Hospitality degree. Yes the course contents are almost completely different! However I'm not sure there isn't still a bunch of overlap between other courses. The degree now contains sections from Accounting, Project Management, Human Resource Management, Strategic Management, Marketing, and Digitalization (chapters with Blockchain, Big Data, AI, etc). Also I feel that some of these sections, such as Blockchain, are irrelevant to the reality of how hotels are run, who runs them, and what you need to know to run one. People in the hotel industry just buy a prebuilt software package subscription without knowing anything about computing and then run it for 20 years.

They removed all the "emotional" aspects that used to be in the degree including Corporate Social Responsibility, NLP and Coaching (unless they renamed the coaching part).

However they also removed a ton of hotel & tourism specific information which should actually be included in a Hotel degree including the history, types & laws of hotels, catering (Food & Beverage Management), Front Desk management and so on. Now there are actually only 3 chapters in the whole degree that are related to hotels.

There will certainly be overlap across a multiple courses, but they have reduced the instances where any one course is significantly similar to any one other course. The way the courses were structured before felt like a money-making exercise because most courses had significant overlap with the MBA. Do the MBA, pay us, do two more courses and we'll give you another Masters. Pay us again, do two more courses and you get another Masters. It was pretty ridiculous to be honest. 

I just compared the new Big Data Masters to the new MBA - they now only have two courses in common, so this is clearly an improvement in the value that each additional Masters will add compared to before.

So I spent about 15 minutes writing ENEB and asking what credit I may be able to get for the new courses in the Master in Coaching and Mindfulness degree program.  

For each course where applicable I indicated which degree along with specifically related courses I previously earned should correlate, such as Project Management for Section 8 of the new degree program.  

We will see how this shakes out.
