Team HTM

College of Health and Human Sciences

Hospitality and Tourism Management (HTM) majors:  Apply for this learning community to develop a social and professional network with other incoming first-year students – a benefit to both your school and future career. Learning community members are required to take two HTM Courses and an information literacy course, together. Team HTM students are also REQUIRED to participate in three activities outside the classroom, including: 

  • An opening reception and behind-the-scenes tour of Ross-Ade Stadium 
  • A Saturday field trip to a major city (Indianapolis or Chicago) to tour a restaurant and hotel for a behind-the-scenes look at successful hospitality businesses. 
  • A community service-learning project 

Please note: Absence from one of the required activities will result in a half-letter grade deduction. Students planning to participate in the Purdue Marching Band should not join Team HTM as required activities take place on Saturdays, in conflict with game-day Band requirements. 

Eligibility

  • First-time beginning students admitted to the College of Health and Human Sciences with a major in Hospitality and Tourism Management

Residential Component

  • Optional. The location of learning community housing will be determined based on the incoming size and needs of the learning community. 
  • A signed housing contract is required to apply to this learning community. Once a housing contract is completed, you will indicate your learning community housing preference within the learning community application. Applications received by the priority deadline will be considered first. 
  • If you want to be placed with a preferred roommate and be admitted to a learning community with an optional residential component, both you and your roommate must apply (and be admitted) to a learning community with an optional residential component. Students admitted to learning communities with a required residential component cannot be paired with students admitted to learning communities with an optional residential component.
  • For specific question regarding learning communities, email learningcommunities@purdue.edu.  
  • Completing a housing contract is a separate process from applying to a learning community. If you have questions about housing, contact University Residences (https://www.housing.purdue.edu/) at housing@purdue.edu.
