Educational status is every bit essential to the progress of one country’s

economy. According to Martin Luther King (1964), “The function of education is to

teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligent plus character- that is the

goal of the education.” This only means that attaining knowledge is not only about how

easy or how difficult the academic subjects are. It is about how they are taught. As

course that his or her family can afford.

case study of UNLV hotel College students. The growth in the tourism and hospitality

industry caused a tremendous increase in the number and type of tourism and hospitality

programs at two- and four-year colleges in the United States.

out-of-state, and international students. The study utilized exploratory factor analysis to

identify appropriate factors and multivariate analysis of variance to determine differences

in college choices among the three groups. The results of this research will be beneficial

to colleges in the development of appropriate promotions to differentiate themselves in a

meaningful way to potential students, not just in the United States but also over the
