General Information
The School of Travel Industry Management (TIM) is
recognized as a leading educational institution in hotel, restaurant,
tourism, and transportation management. TIM pioneered the concept of
integrating all aspects of the travel industry under a single
discipline. Built on a foundation of management science, TIM also draws
on a broad range of disciplines to provide high-quality education at the
under-graduate and graduate levels to current and future professionals.
The visitor industry in Hawai‘i provides TIM
students many opportunities to gain experience in the field and to study
applications of theory to practical business situations. TIM works
closely with local, national, and international business organizations,
as well as with various government and private professional
organizations.
In addition to Hawai‘i’s travel industry
environment, students benefit from a curriculum that has an
international perspective. The global importance of tourism and the
increasingly interdependent nature of economic and political systems
require a fundamental and multidisciplinary understanding of international
issues. TIM’s distinctive curriculum and outstanding faculty, the
success and importance of tourism as the leading industry in Hawai‘i,
and the international focus of the programs provide students a unique
educational environment and experience.
Mission
As a professional program within a land-grant
institution, the School of Travel Industry Management has linked its
mission with the state’s economic interest in tourism, Hawai‘i’s
largest economic sector. The mission of the school is threefold: (a) to
prepare individuals for leadership and professional positions in the
travel industry through education and training, (b) to generate new
knowledge in the travel industry through research and graduate
education, and (c) to provide service to the community, nation, Asia
Pacific region, and beyond.
Goals
The School of Travel Industry Management has the
following goals:
1. Instruction--to provide high-quality education at the undergraduate
and graduate levels on a statewide basis;
2. Research--to conduct basic and applied research relevant to the
travel industry; and
3. Service--to be the leading travel-industry center for information
resources and continuing professional education and training serving the
state and the Asia Pacific region.
Accreditation
TIM is fully accredited by the Accreditation
Commission for Programs in Hospitality Administration (ACPHA). |
