There will be no thesis requirement, however, a semester-long applied capstone project (involving industry and approved by the program director) will be required. The program will provide employable technical skills including the development of algorithms, discrete choice models, service systems quality engineering, machine learning, digital marketing, and big data management, and computer systems to extract insight from big data. The foregoing will be appropriately contextualized within the global travel industry and its trajectory toward increasing technological innovations that continue to drive the industry. The curriculum includes six (6) required courses that ensure that students have skills in algorithms and statistical techniques for extracting information in addition to awareness of the global travel and tourism industry including. Although courses can generally be taken in any order, the first two (2) required (co-requisite) courses serve as pre-requisites for all remaining courses in the program.</p>",

There will be no thesis requirement, however, a semester-long applied capstone project (involving industry and approved by the program director) will be required. The program will provide employable technical skills including the development of algorithms, discrete choice models, service systems quality engineering, machine learning, digital marketing, and big data management, and computer systems to extract insight from big data. The foregoing will be appropriately contextualized within the global travel industry and its trajectory toward increasing technological innovations that continue to drive the industry. The curriculum includes six (6) required courses that ensure that students have skills in algorithms and statistical techniques for extracting information in addition to awareness of the global travel and tourism industry including. Although courses can generally be taken in any order, the first two (2) required (co-requisite) courses serve as pre-requisites for all remaining courses in the program.</p>",
