Bachelor of Commerce (B.Comm.)
Tourism Management (TMGT)
School of Hospitality, Food and Tourism Management, College of Business and Economics
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, 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. Students may consult the Faculty Advisor or the B.Comm. Program Counsellor for additional information.
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.
Liberal Education Requirement
As part of the graduation requirement all students within the B.Comm. Program are required to complete 1.50 credits from at least two different subject prefixes as listed under the B.Comm. Program Information section of the undergraduate calendar.
Major
For this major, 15.00 of the 20.00 credits are specified as core requirements, 2.50 are restricted electives (from List A), 1.50 are the Liberal Education Requirement and 1.00 are free electives.
Given the professional and applied nature of the program, there are no double majors or minors associated with the degree. Elective options enable students to select courses which support or complement their primary field of study. Students interested in earning the Certificate in Leadership can use a combination of restricted, Liberal Education and free electives to do so.
