Tisch Center Undergraduate Programs

AT A GLANCE

The Tisch Center offers a B.S. in Hotel and Tourism Management and a B.S. in Sports Management. Both are full-time, four-year programs consisting of 128 credits each. Integrated within either professional program of study is a classic NYU liberal arts curriculum component, the professional core, the Professional Seminar series, junior and senior level industry concentrations, professional electives, and two internship requirements of 300 and 400 hours each. This compelling academic mix educationally enables the well rounded, responsible, creative, global, and critical thinker desired by leading hospitality, tourism, and sports management organizations. The divisional dean, in concert with an industry advisory board, regularly reviews Tisch Center undergraduate curricula to ensure that the latest trends and technologies are being taught.

Tisch Center and liberal arts courses are taught in and around historic Washington Square–w ithin walking distance of most NYU housing options and the Tisch Center–as well as campus facilities such as the NYU Kimmel Center for University Life and the NYU Wasserman Center for Career Development. Most undergraduate classes meet during the day from Monday through Thursday.

Internships are a required and essential element across Tisch Center degree programs, affording students an opportunity to build professional portfolios of experience, networking, and critical thinking. Participation in NYU Study Abroad is highly recommended. Tisch Center academic advisors work closely with undergraduate students to determine the best semester to study abroad. Undergraduate student life is enhanced by the NYU Student Resource Center and exclusive Tisch Center student membership in the  Hospitality Business Society (HBS), HSMAI Committee, and Sports Business Society undergraduate organizations.

Tisch Center undergraduates hail from all over the world and are typically 18 to 21 years old. They are bright, energetic, and passionate about their field of study. We find that most successful applicants held a part-time job in hospitality, tourism, or sports management during high school, excelled academically in a rigorous course of study, participated in and led extracurricular activities such as community volunteerism or sports, and are personally and professionally motivated to lead and advance their industries well into the twenty-first century.

The NYU Office of Undergraduate Admissions, located at 22 Washington Square North, is your first step in the process, reserving your campus tour and assisting with questions about financial aid, billing, and housing. Once students commit to the Tisch Center, advisors provide orientation dates and assist with online registration over the summer so that students are pre-registered when they arrive on campus for their first fall term.

Welcome. We invite you to engage in entrepreneurial undergraduate education for hospitality, tourism, and sports management at the NYU Tisch Center.
