The School of Merchandising and Hospitality Management is now offering a new master of science degree in international sustainable tourism, the first of its kind in the U.S.

The degree will prepare students for management and leadership positions in sustainable tourism with either an operations or policy focus. Students will spend one year at UNT completing courses in sustainable tourism, hospitality operations, environmental impact assessment and environmental ethics. During their second year, students will study natural resource management and environmental policies at CATIE, an international higher education, research and development center in Turrialba, Costa Rica.
