Program overview
A four year degree in hospitality and tourism with an optional internship, covering hotel and resort operations, tourism marketing, revenue management, service leadership and a capstone.
Vancouver is one of Canada’s principal tourism cities, which makes hospitality work genuinely available alongside study and after graduation.
Bachelor of Arts in Individualized Studies, Hospitality and Tourism Management is taught at the Vancouver campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University, a Designated Learning Institution with the number O19227134842.

Subject does not matter for a degree. A British Columbia provincial attestation letter is still required alongside the Bachelor of Arts in Individualized Studies, Hospitality and Tourism Management study permit application.
