Bachelor of Hospitality and Tourism Management (90 credit)
The Bachelor of Hospitality and Tourism Management program is a 90 credits specialized degree offered through the Shannon School of Business that encompasses courses spread over the Hospitality, Tourism, Business/Management, Humanities, Social Science and English academic disciplines.
The BHTM includes two required Internships that represent 540 hours of work per internship, totaling 1080 hours of industry experience upon degree completion. This is approximately 16 weeks at 35 hours per week. Placements can be taken in any semester, but May and September are the most likely times to engage in industry.
Students are responsible to secure their own internship opportunities, but must ensure that the position satisfies the requirements of the internship.
