Introduction
International College Travel and Tourism Program was established in 2003. Different from other tourism majors in Taiwan, all the courses provided in the Travel and Tourism Program are conducted entirely in English throughout four years. Our student body of around 130 consists of both Taiwanese and international students. Regarding the faculty, there are two full-time professors, two adjunct professors from Ming Chuan Tourism School, two part-time professors, and 7 lecturers. All faculty members have Ph.D. and/or master’s degrees and have long experience in tourism and hospitality industry. The student to faculty ratio is around 8:1.
In total, students in Travel & Tourism need to complete 128 credits to meet the graduation requirement. Each course is usually made up of 3 credits. There is also a practical internship requirement, where both Taiwanese and international students need to complete 400 hours of professional internship in the tourism and hospitality industry before the 2nd semester of the senior year. The internship can be conducted in either Taiwan or overseas.
