Tourism Management Degree Program
Piloted at Capilano College

Vancouver’s busy port is part of
British Columbia’s thriving tourism
industry.

A new bachelor degree program in
tourism management, announced
November 4 by B.C.’s Education, Skills
and Training Minister Moe Sihota, will
be piloted at Capilano College.

Starting in February 1997, Capilano
College will be offering the degree
program in partnership with the Open
University of British Columbia.

“For the past 10 years, Capilano
College has provided provincial
leadership in the post-secondary
tourism area,” says John Potts, dean of
Business, Human Services and
International Programs at Capilano
College. “The new Tourism degree
extends that role for our College,
making it the first institution in the
province to initiate the degree program.

“This will add one more applied
degree to this College’s offerings and
raises our profile as a provincial centre
for applied studies at the degree level,”
John continues. “But what is perhaps
more important, we are providing
another step for our Tourism and
Outdoor Recreation graduates to take in
their career and professional
development. As holders of a Tourism
Management degree, they will be
prepared to play key roles in B.C.’s
fastest growing industry.”

The new degree program combines
Internet accessibility with classroom
delivery, allowing people working in the
industry to complete their degree on a
part-time basis without having to quit
their jobs.

To be eligible, applicants must have a
diploma in either tourism, hospitality or
outdoor recreation. They must also be
working in their field of expertise.

“People make a professional
investment by returning to school and

learning new skills and new techniques,”

says Capilano College degree program
convenor, Brian White. This program is
a senior management program that is
available to qualified professionals
during the course of their life, wherever
they might be living.”
