An Internship in Tourism is the great method to gain valuable professional experience plus “get your foot in the door” of the tourism industry. Qualified students can earn 3 credit hours for working a minimum of 200 hours during a 15-week semester or 10-week summer session, maintaining a detailed work journal, completing a management focused paper and where appropriate a creating a notebook of work product samples.
