East Carolina University now offers a set of four core courses, an independent study, internship and a thesis option for students interested in sustainable tourism. Offered in conjunction with ECU’s Center for Sustainable Tourism, these offerings represent the campus's effort to provide an interdisciplinary overview of sustainable tourism with a specialized emphasis on research, policy development and management. These courses are designed for individuals interested in the tourism profession with a focus on sustainability as it applies to economic and business success, social and cultural vitality, environmental conservation, and responsible, long-term growth.
Emerging from a collaboration of scholars from four colleges and nine departments, these courses provide the opportunity to study sustainability within a research intensive tradition balanced nicely with finding innovative planning, development and management solutions for the growing challenges that face the future of tourism.
Again, thank you for your interest in the sustainable tourism offerings of East Carolina University and the Center for Sustainable Tourism! “Tomorrow Starts Here."
