Streams
The MA in Tourism Management is offered in two formats: an 12-month on-campus model (with an optional internship of up to 6 months) and a 27-month blended learning model. Both models share a similar curriculum and course selection.
On-Campus
The on-campus stream is an intensive 12-month program structured as a full-time, on-campus experience. The final component of the program offers two options, the first is a graduate research paper and the second is a consulting project followed by a 6-month internship.
Blended Learning
Our blended learning model allows you to have the flexibility to complete your degree while you work. Over 27 months, this stream uses a number of different delivery methods including textbooks, reading packages, case studies, and interactive internet-based learning. Throughout the program, students attend three separate on-campus residencies that let you work face-to-face with your teammates and instructors.
