Partner Schools

Students can study at international universities through the UH Mānoa International Exchange (MIX) office or the UH Mānoa Study Abroad Center (SAC). The School of Travel Industry Management offers four partner schools through MIX with pre-approved course equivalencies, plus a wide range of non-partner schools (through MIX and SAC) where students can take travel industry related coursework to count towards their TIM degree.

TIM major students should be mindful of the credit residency requirement: a minimum of 24 credits of 300+ level TIM coursework must be taken at the School of Travel Industry Management (which is equivalent to a maximum of 16 credits of 300+ level TIM coursework that can be transferred in from a partner or non-partner institution).
