Curriculum Overview

Successful completion of our undergraduate program leads to a BComm (Honours). Our program contains a unique blend of applied professional, professionally-related, and liberal studies courses.

Applied professional courses in hospitality and tourism management are core offerings. Management skills are developed through the study of marketing, accounting/finance, organizational behaviour and human resources management. Research and technology are integrated into all facets of the program.

Applied professional skills are developed throughout research assignments, tutorials, case studies, simulations, field studies and off-campus applied projects. 

In addition to completing all academic requirements for graduation, students in #HTMTorontoMet are encouraged to take advantage of the many experiential learning opportunities that are provided, from volunteer experiences in the community to industry internships and co-op in Canada and abroad. 

The curriculum below is for students admitted in Fall 2024. For previous curriculums, please visit the calendar archives, or refer to your academic advisement report.
