Hospitality and Tourism Management M.S.
The Hospitality and Event Management program, in partnership with the Recreation, Park & Tourism Management program, offers a joint Master of Science degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management (HTM).
The HTM graduate program is a 100% online, 3-semester, cohort-based curriculum program. This will allow students to complete their education in a timely manner. The program provides an integrated graduate education and allows students to focus on regional, national, and global issues. Skills in critical analysis and research, as well as an understanding of advanced hospitality and tourism issues will be developed. Graduates will be prepared to secure positions of leadership in industry or pursue a terminal degree in Hospitality or Tourism Management.
We aim to make the program accessible to industry leaders who wish to upgrade their skill sets as they prepare for their own career development, as well as recent graduates looking to extend their knowledge of the industry.
