“From freshman year I immediately knew this was the right major for me! The entire faculty has been so helpful and I feel comfortable to go to any one of my professors about questions for class or advice. My course track, my professors' teachings, and study abroad helped me obtain multiple internships and prepared me for graduation. I am very excited about the many opportunities in my future career in Tourism/Hospitality which this major has opened up for me!”
