Starting in the fall, students can enroll in the University of Southern Maine\u27s new four-year tourism and hospitality program that will focus on all aspects of the tourism industry, including history, art, and environmental science. Husson University\u27s School of Sport and Tourism Management opened in the spring of 2011 and offers different types of degrees such as a five-year BS/MBA degree and a bachelor\u27s degree as well as a minor and collaborate with TriCounty Workforce Investment Board\u27s youth services program to offer a certificate program in hospitality.
