Hotel and Food Administration (Co-op) (HAFA:C)

School of Hospitality and Tourism Management, College of Management and Economics

The principal aim of the Hotel and Food Administration Co-op program is to facilitate the transition of students from academic studies to a professional work life by enhancing the integration of theory and practice. Students may consult the departmental Co-op Advisor or the B.Comm. Program Counsellor for additional information. The co-op work program consists of one twelve-month period. The work semester begins at the end of the second year and extends from May to April. The co-op program is completed over a 5 year period.

Liberal Education Requirement

As part of the graduation requirement all students within the B.Comm. Program are required to complete 1.50 credits from at least two different subject prefixes as listed under the B.Comm. Program Information section of the undergraduate calendar.

Major

The academic program consists of 20.00 credits, 16.50 of which are specified as core requirements, 2.00 as restricted electives, and 1.50 as the Liberal Education Requirement.

Given the professional and applied nature of the program, there are no double majors or minors associated with the degree. Elective options enable students to select courses which support or complement their primary field of study. Students interested in earning the Certificate in Leadership can use a combination of restricted, Liberal Education and free electives to do so.
