Abstract
It is typical that tourism and hospitality management (THM) students negatively perceive finance track courses, misvalue their future benefits, and hardly consider them relevant to a hospitality career. However, perceptions can change over time. Accordingly, we investigated the change in student thoughts of finance courses longitudinally in a qualitative panel at two intervals (before and four years after graduation). Our observations indicated a maturity effect which mainly revealed itself in lengthier (shorter) responses at time 2 (time 1), expressing regret (criticism) to some extent in statements that convey mixed (negative) perceptions of 'course value' ('course content' and 'course execution').
