General Information (This section includes information about the University or the specific department or program, and background checking requirements. All job duties should be included in the Job Description section)

Northern Arizona University has a student population of about 21,500 at its main campus in Flagstaff and at about 30 sites across the state.

Committed to a diverse and civil working and learning environment, NAU has earned a solid reputation as a university with all the features of a large institution but with a personal touch, with a faculty and staff dedicated to each student’s success.

While our emphasis is undergraduate education, we offer a wide range of graduate programs and research. Our institution has carefully integrated on-campus education with distance learning, forming seamless avenues for students to earn degrees.

Flagstaff has a population of about 57,000, rich in cultural diversity. Located at the base of the majestic San Francisco Peaks, Flagstaff is 140 miles north of Phoenix at intersection of Interstate 17 and Interstate 40.

The School of Hotel and Restaurant Management was created in 1986 in recognition of the need to develop a strong hospitality program to meet the needs of the industry in Arizona. Since that time, the school has grown to offer one of the largest and most respected hospitality programs in the world.

The school is comprised of students, faculty, researchers, practitioners, and staffers all working together to help and shape and grow tomorrow’s professional workforce. That means helping not only traditional college students, but also older students preparing for a career change or advancement. The School’s 4-year bachelor’s degree is available via partnership programs with Pima Community and Scottsdale Community colleges, as well as online.

The School of Hotel and Restaurant Management has approximately 750 students and over 17 FTE faculty. The School of Hotel and Restaurant Management has earned accreditation from the Accreditation Commission for Hospitality Administration, an honor earned by fewer than 20% of the nation's baccalaureate degree-granting programs in the field. We are entering an exciting phase of development. Beginning July 1, 2008 construction will begin on a 12,000 square foot state-of-the-art kitchen and training facility, which will include demo labs, hotel room mock-ups, classroom facilities and office space. The executive director will be a part of this significant renovation.

Northern Arizona University requires satisfactory results for the following: a criminal background investigation, an employment history verification and a degree verification (in some cases) prior to employment. You may also be required to complete a fingerprint background check.
