Strategic Industry Partners

Enhance the student experience and meet your strategic goals.

The Department of Hospitality and Tourism Management in the School of Business at the College of Charleston invites our industry partners to join us as Strategic Industry Partners (SIPs).

Strategic Industry Partnership enhances the learning experience for students through partners’ active participation in the HTMT program and builds curricular and operational synergies mutually beneficial to our students and our industry. We’ve also partnered with the College of Charleston Career Center to create enhanced partnership options for Strategic Partners who want more exposure and more engagement on campus. Full details about each partnership tier can be found below.
