?Future employment opportunities center on the credentials of our graduates to posses both theoretical and practical skills and experiences. Many courses offer a practical component. Upon successful completion of the program the student will have acquired both an applied and theoretical understanding of the tourism and recreation profession through the successful completion of a core curriculum, a specialization within the field, and career-oriented practical experiences.

Students will be able to meet the challenges of this rapidly changing industry in which leadership, information technology, multiculturalism, and internationalization play important roles in business management. TRM majors are also encouraged to choose from a variety of elective courses, or can select a second concentration. The program encourages further specialization through achievement of a single or double concentration selected from these concentrations: tourism destination management and event and meeting management.

Moreover, students are able to enhance their study of the major through the selection of both a concentration and focus. Each TRM major selects a concentration and each concentration allows a selection from two focus areas. This maximizes student choice, allowing more breadth and depth in the curriculum.
