The mission of the master's program in Tourism and Hospitality Management is to develop advanced professionals in the field of tourism, hospitality, and commercial recreation management. Professionals in this field should have an education that enables them to be expert managers, marketers, and planners in the public, private, and commercial sectors. The program prepares students to be middle-level and, eventually, to be upper-level managers in the tourism and hospitality industry. The degree program is based not only on the practical application of management techniques, but also on the theoretical foundation that defines the profession. This makes the degree program clearly distinct from generic management curricula that do not include an industry-specific core. (Students interested in studying at the doctoral level should refer to the Ph.D. program in Business Administration with a concentration in Tourism offered in The Fox School of Business and Management.)
