Travel-Tourism & Hospitality Management
Bachelor of Science The Travel, Tourism & Hospitality Management program provides a broad-based option for students incorporating the hotel, travel/tourism and food segments of the hospitality industry with special focus given to travel/tourism.
This bachelor’s degree program places an emphasis on tourism as the glue that holds together the industry – especially in course offerings and the term-long practicum experiential program. Students participate in various hospitality and tourism site rotations. The culmination of the practicum experience is a tour to a selected destination, for which students research, negotiate and develop a highly anticipated journey.
Graduates are expected to be able to utilize their technical and management skills as well as apply critical thinking skills, ethical standards and problem solving techniques within a tourism setting. Graduates will also identify and communicate long-range vision and strategy within a tourism business environment.
Graduates of the program will be employed in all industry segments due to its more generalized curriculum but the emphasis on travel/tourism will provide specific career options in destination marketing organizations such as CVBs and tourism offices, resorts, tour operators, travel industry suppliers such as airlines, cruise lines or ground transportation, and various international operators. Students can further customize their degree by selecting a concentration option specific to their area(s) of interest.
