Graduates are prepared for entry-level positions with hotel and lodging, food service, airlines, airport operations, car rentals, conventions and meetings, tourism and attractions, casinos, and cruise lines. Students will perform a variety of tasks and complete projects to help them develop the skills required to work in the industry. Students will also have to opportunity to tour various establishments within the industry such as hotels, convention centers, and casinos.

Students who complete the Travel, Tourism and Hospitality certificate have two options:

• Enter the travel and tourism industry with marketable skills and training; or
• Continue their education in the CCRI General Studies associate degree program. The General Studies degree program requires 60 credits for completion, 28 of which are elective credits. The Travel, Tourism and Hospitality certificate requires 30 credits and can be used to meet the 28 elective credits for the General Studies degree.

Note: Students may complete the Travel, Tourism and Hospitality certificate program first and then apply all credits toward a General Studies degree or work concurrently in the two programs. Many courses require prerequisites, co-requisites, and/or testing. See the course descriptions in the catalog.
