Spend a semester in Aruba- island paradise in the Caribbean. Picture yourself studying hospitality and tourism in the #1 tourism destination in the Caribbean! What a great way to learn about timeshares, cruise ships, hotels, resorts, restaurants, retail, and tourism destination marketing! Studying in Aruba will be a great experience for numerous reasons (besides the sea, sand, and sun!) These reasons are related to: small class sizes, a variety of courses that are taught by world class instructors, studying with students from a variety of countries, learning how a small island economy markets and manages their tourism destination, and learning about a culture that stems from the Dutch Antilles.

If you need more reasons to study abroad, there is the island breeze, the ocean surrounding you, the pristine beaches, the outstanding resorts and hotels that cater to more than 1 million visitors a year, the cruise ships that bring visitors south in the Caribbean to Aruba each day, the friendly local people that will make you feel welcome every day! All classes at the University of Aruba related to hospitality and tourism are taught in English. A unique opportunity to spend a semester exploring Aruban culture and society. Tuition is the same as USC. Open to all majors, but the courses taught will be related to hospitality and tourism management. Up to four $1,000 travel stipends available each year for HRSM majors to help defer the costs of travel to Aruba.
