Tourism, Travel & Hospitality Management

Full immersion is a well-documented way to learn, and ICE’s Tourism, Travel & Hospitality Management program leverages this technique. As a school located in one of the most famous tourism cities in the world, ICE New York offers a unique opportunity to learn both on and off campus. You’ll also start building a professional network on day one. Your instructors, who are experienced and connected industry experts, and your dedicated Career Services Advisors can all open doors to a broad array of professional connections. An education specifically dedicated to the hospitality mindset lays the foundation for a wide variety of potential career paths while exposing you to exactly what it takes to run a hospitality-based business. Businesses in this industry include large international hotel chains, boutique hotels, bed and breakfasts, airlines, cruise lines, event spaces and much more.

ICE’s Tourism, Travel & Hospitality Management curriculum takes an innovative and pragmatic approach by going beyond classroom and textbook instruction with interactive simulations, field trips, guest lectures, and an externship  to provide real-world experience in a tourism, travel or hospitality business. This program is designed to set students on exciting and rewarding career paths. We teach effective management skills and best practices for making a tourism, travel or hospitality business profitable. We also explore the important commonalities between these unique industries, including how to cultivate a ‘hospitality mindset’ centered on providing clients and guests with a positive, individualized experience. 

These abilities can provide a competitive advantage to anyone interested in a tourism, travel or hospitality career.

Our students’ diverse goals and backgrounds enrich the classroom experience for everyone. A typical class might include international students, career changers, or recent high school and college graduates, all of whom share a passion for client service and creating memorable guest experiences. Our students also share the desire for a more efficient, hands-on education than traditional two- or four-year degree programs. That’s exactly what our Tourism, Travel & Hospitality Management diploma program offers — an efficient path toward your professional goals.

There’s no better way to build your skill set than to apply classroom instruction in the real world. In the last segment of the program, you will embark on a 200-hour externship. Our dedicated Career Services team works individually with each student to help them find an externship placement that matches their personal career aspirations, goals and abilities. This hands-on experience can help you build a resume and a network of industry connections that can shape the rest of your career. An ICE externship can even turn into a full-time job offer, which it has for many ICE graduates. Your career can get started in as little as eight months! There are few programs in America that teach a similar breadth and depth of knowledge in such an accelerated fashion.
