M.S. in Tourism and Travel Management

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Students at the Tisch Center easily integrate curricula and careers thanks to our location in the heart of New York City – A tourism capital of the world and home to many major sports organizations.

Career development at the Tisch Center begins with a practical industry overview and skills assessment for new graduate students. Internships are a required and essential element across degree programs, affording students an opportunity to build professional portfolios of experience, networking skills, and critical thinking. Graduate students complete a 300-hour internship of learning, shadowing, working, and developing professionally. Tisch Center allows flexibility in the scheduling of internships, which occur in the fall, spring, and summer. Some students elect to intern while enrolled full-time, mirroring the multi-tasking required both in business and in life. Students engage with faculty in concurrent internship coursework that compliments and informs their practical field experience.

Dedicated Tisch Center faculty advisors and career administrators, in tandem with NYU resources such as the Wasserman Center for Career Development, the SCPS Office of Career Management, and esteemed industry guest lecturers, provide accessible and abundant opportunities for meaningful learning, networking, and career growth. The Tisch Center Alumni Society also offers mentorship opportunities, connecting our current successes in industry with the bright leaders of tomorrow. A growing global roster of hospitality, tourism, and sports management organizations also participate in on-campus recruitment days.
