Hospitality and Tourism Management Co-op (HTM:C)

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

The principal aim of the Hospitality and Tourism Management 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. The focus on experiential learning means that theory is balanced with practice. Students are encouraged to participate in guided learning opportunities outside the conventional classroom, such as independent study courses, study abroad and numerous networking events with industry leaders. Team work is a significant part of the core courses.

The co-op work term portion of the program consists of one twelve-month period, which begins at the end of the second year in May and extends to April of the following year. The Co-op Program is completed over a five-year period.

Elective options enable students to select courses that support or complement their primary field of study. Examples:

1) Students may use a combination of courses from their major, liberal education and free electives to earn the Certificate in Leadership. For information about this certificate and its course requirements, see http://www.leadershipcertificate.com/

2) Students interested in languages and/or participating in study abroad programs may use a combination of their liberal education or free electives to study one or more of the various languages taught at the University or to take courses while abroad.

3) Students interested in independent study courses (e.g. HTM*4500, HTM*4130, HTM*4140, HTM*4150) may use a combination of their restricted or free electives to study one or more of these special topic courses. For more information regarding current offerings, students should consult the Faculty Advisor.
