International tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors in the service and business fields. Schiller International University’s unique and exciting program offers the opportunity to study at campus locations in both Europe and the United States. Instruction by our thoroughly qualified cosmopolitan faculty, many of whom are practitioners in the hospitality field, experience with the use of computerized reservation systems, and an introduction to the language and culture of more than one country provide students not only with a solid business administration background in tourism, but also with actual experience in the international atmosphere of this exciting profession. One or two semesters may be spent at the Engelberg campus, with degree studies to be completed in Florida or London.

Studies in Food Service Management give the student the background and confidence to start a food centered career such as kitchen supervisor or assistant dining room manager, leading to banquet or catering manager, and eventually food and beverage director positions. This program of study is a blend of hands-on experiences along with an exposure to the principles of business management as practiced in successful freestanding restaurants, commercial food service operations and hotels. One hundred sixty (160) hours of internship are required to graduate, and the student has the option to complete these hours at the Schiller owned and operated hotels in Switzerland.
