Hands-on Learning in Florence
What makes our Master’s in Destination Management stand out from similar degrees is the deep connection with Florence and the greater Tuscany community. Gonzaga has had a location in Florence since 1963 with faculty, staff and students becoming contributing members of the city and surrounding area. That dedication to building relationships has helped us gain the unique ability to offer hands-on learning with the people and organizations in this beautiful city.
Real-World Destination Management Experience
You will have the opportunity to work with a variety of community partners in Florence. These partnerships are a key component of your final capstone course, in which you can intern or work with a partner on a specific project.
Partners provide opportunities for internships, project sites, guest lectures, community service and mentoring.
Students benefit from collaborations with:
- Musei Civici Fiorentini
- Centro Storico di Firenze Patrimonio Mondiale UNESCO
- Destination Florence
- Other Partner Universities in Florence and Tuscany
- Local hotels, restaurants, museums and NGOs
- Gonzaga and Gonzaga in Florence Alumni working in related fields
