Study Abroad Experience

As a student in the Tourism and Travel-Adventure and Ecotourism program you will have the opportunity to experience culture in a foreign destination. This international field trip known as a "familiarization trip" in the industry is designed to introduce the student to both its physical and cultural geography. At the destination, the students will assess tourism operations, resort and hotel inspections, visit major tourist attractions, participate in tours and network with local tourism and hospitality personnel. As an alternative, if a student is not able to partake in this international experience, they will be required to complete a field placement component in a tourism related position which will enable the student to explore their chosen field and apply the knowledge and skills developed in school in a professional environment. These non-paid positions may include travel operations, airlines, hotel services, sales, retail, event and trade shows and exceptional customer service positions, among others.
