Bachelor of Applied Management in Hospitality and Tourism (Co-op Optional)

Program Overview

Go surfing in the Pacific and write about it. Book a dream honeymoon for someone. Entertain tourists through interpretive re-enactments. Manage a beachfront hotel. These are just a few of the cool things you can do with a degree in Hospitality and Tourism.

In UNB’s Bachelor of Applied Management in Hospitality and Tourism (BAMHT) program, you’ll combine practical experience in a community college setting with theoretical studies in UNB classrooms. You’ll study in Canada’s oldest incorporated city and gain valuable hands-on training and experience.

The BAMHT is available as a certificate and a degree, if entering from high school, or as a diploma and a degree, if entering from college. For the co-op mode, work terms follow Years Two and Three for high school-entry students while a work term follows Year Three (i.e. first year at UNBSJ) for college-entry students. These work terms provide hands-on, multi-level practical experiences.

Why Hospitality and Tourism at UNB?

Through UNB’s unique program, you’ll gain hands-on experience through the community college component of the program in addition to the theoretical component you’ll receive in UNB’s classrooms.

In addition, Saint John's distinctive historic and geographic significance makes it an ideal place to study and experience tourism first hand.
