The Hospitality, Event and Tourism Department requires students to complete an internship
in their field of study as a capstone course before they graduate. An internship provides
students with supervised, hands-on industry experience and career awareness. This
setting provides fascinating and valuable opportunities for experiential learning
and serves as a bridge between education and business. Through the internship, the
student experiences the transfer of knowledge gained in the classroom to tasks such
as problem solving, critical thinking, and working as a team member.
The annual Career Expo attracts companies to campus to recruit students for internships and full-time career opportunities. You may also follow the link to UNT Handshake and follow the CMHT LinkedIn page for more job opportunities.
