Mission Statement

The tourism program at California University of Pennsylvania will have the best and most complete teaching, research and service within the discipline.  Within the context of the institutional mission of California University of Pennsylvania the Bachelor of Arts in Geography: Tourism Studies Concentration seeks to build the characters and careers of students through a commitment to academic excellence. The focus of the program is on developing a responsive approach to the needs of the tourism industry both domestically and internationally, by encouraging students to develop both a constructive and critical understanding of the global tourism industry and the wider social, cultural, economic, and environmental contexts in which it operates.
