Program details

Overview

The diploma builds hospitality knowledge through a mix of classroom learning and experiential activities, including work in an on-campus dining room, teaching kitchens and special events. Students complete two paid co-operative placements, applying what they've learned at resorts across British Columbia and Alberta. The program is intended to prepare graduates for a range of supervisory and management roles within the tourism industry.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: General admission requirements apply, per VIU's Admission Requirements for Academic Programs, and the Hospitality Management Diploma page lists no further programme-specific academic prerequisites.
