Business Management - Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management Major Curriculum
Program overivew
Ted Rogers School of Management’s Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management (THEM) major gives students the opportunity to work, live and play in international destinations at Canada’s largest and first university business programs dedicated to this field. It launches careers that connect graduates to the world, fosters the creation of memorable experiences and leads to incredible futures.
Work term scheduling is noted in the Sequence of Academic and Work Terms for Co-op Program section(s).
The Ted Rogers School offers an optional co-op program which provides graduates with up to 16 months of work experience integrated into their academic program.
The co-op option extends the program by one year. The Ted Rogers School cannot guarantee work term jobs, but the Business Career Hub and the school will prospect for employers and make every effort to locate suitable positions, as well as be available to advise students on their search for program related jobs. The co-op program enables students to earn prevailing wages for the level of responsibility and contribution of the jobs they perform and thus finance at least part of their university education.
