Program overview
A three year degree in hospitality and tourism operations and management, covering accommodation and food service management, tourism destination development, event management, marketing and hospitality finance.
Cape Breton is a genuine tourism destination with the Cabot Trail, Fortress of Louisbourg and a substantial cruise and heritage tourism sector, which means practicum and seasonal employment happen in real operations. Studying tourism in a place people actually travel to is not a small advantage.
