What is the HTM Master's Program?

The Master’s in Hospitality and Tourism Management (HTM) program is a leadership development program designed for busy working professionals from all over the world. The program is delivered online in a small class setting and bookended by week-long meet-ups on SDSU's beautiful campus. HTM master’s courses are recorded weekly by our professors and personalized to your specific aspirations and activities.
