About the MS
Degree Program
The Master of
Science degree program in travel industry management will be
offered in Singapore with support and assistance from the
Center for American Education. The goals and objectives of the
program in Singapore are identical to those for the on-campus
program. That is, the program is designed to provide a
specialized education through coursework and research to
master a broad and sophisticated set of interdisciplinary
skills and knowledge. The curriculum has an international
perspective focusing on global issues affecting and shaping
the industry.
The program
prepares students for advanced careers and leadership roles
across the spectrum of the travel industry including tourism,
hospitality and transportation management as well as
integrating the entire industry including information
technology, finance, marketing, policy and planning. Students
also may explore specific topics of interest including
sustainable tourism, cultural heritage tourism and service
quality management. The program and faculty have a strong
emphasis and expertise in travel and tourism in the
Asia-Pacific region.
