Tourism Management (TMGT)

School of Hotel and Food Administration, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences.

As the world's largest industry, tourism encompasses a wide range of public and private enterprises that require knowledgeable and talented management professionals. The program in Tourism Management builds on a strong base of hospitality management courses (human resources management, accounting, finance, cost controls, hotel operations). In conjunction with these courses the program provides specialized courses dealing with the economic, social, cultural and environmental aspects of the industry as well as the critical functions of tourism marketing, distribution, planning and development. In addition, there are opportunities to develop expertise in eco-tourism and international tourism operations. The study of languages is a core component of this program. Verified work experience in the hospitality and tourism industry is required for students to be eligible to graduate. Group work is a significant part of core credit work.

For this major, 14.50 of the 20.00 credits are specified as core requirements, 3.00 as restricted electives (List A and List B), and the remaining 2.50 as electives.
