Travel Marketing Program

horseHow do I get started?

The three-level Travel Marketing program (described below) has been designed with many core courses in common. You will probably choose to take some of the core courses in your first semester, which should include TRAVL 72 (Introduction to Travel). You may also wish to take a “destination course” based on your interest, as different destination courses are offered throughout the year.
