The Historic Tourism concentration is designed to prepare students for a career in the commercial, nonprofit and public sector segment of the recreation and tourism industry, which specifically promotes historical learning and content. The program contains three subject areas: history, museum studies, and business, each cultivating a critical skill set for future graduates. The History courses impart historical content and analysis skills; museum studies courses teach the skills of interpreting and presenting history to a public audience; and business courses introduce students to the business and economic fundamentals of the recreation and tourism sector of the economy.
