Program Overview

The Hospitality and Tourism Management (HTM) major prepares students to assume positions of responsibility within the world’s largest industry.

In the first two years of study, students are introduced to foundational business skills and knowledge; and provided with an in-depth overview of the industry’s three sectors: hotel and lodging; restaurant and foodservice; and tourism.

By the end of the second year, students must choose one of those sectors as their area of emphasis. For the remainder of the program, the courses and learning opportunities that students encounter have one goal: to help them cultivate the knowledge, skills and understanding required of a managerial leader in their chosen area.

Topics of study for all three areas of emphasis includes:

  • Human resources management;
  • Marketing;
  • Accounting;
  • Communications

The hotel and lodging area includes:

  • Operations;
  • Event management;
  • Design

The restaurant and foodservice area includes:

  • Food systems;
  • Restaurant management;
  • Beverage management

The tourism area includes:

  • Planning and development; 
  • Sustainability;
  • International tourism

An integral part of the HTM major is experiential learning, which 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.
