Is tourism management easy to take the exam?

I don’t know whether you are referring to choosing a major as an undergraduate or taking the postgraduate entrance examination. It just so happens that my sister is majoring in tourism management. She graduated this year and has also gone through the postgraduate entrance examination, so we can talk about both aspects.

Postgraduate Entrance Examination Situation for Tourism Management Major

Let’s talk about the more recent postgraduate entrance examination first. This year, there are twenty-six people in their class. , one classmate was admitted to Shaanxi Normal University’s master’s degree program in tourism management, and four students were admitted to graduate school or took the postgraduate entrance examination for the tourism management major in our school. In general, the postgraduate entrance examination for tourism management has a certain degree of difficulty, and it must be combined with the admission ratio of the specific school, the difficulty of the questions and the candidates' personal efforts and performance.

The examination subjects for the Master of Tourism Management are English and management joint examination comprehensive ability. The examination time for each subject is 3 hours, and the full score is 300 points. Academic degrees are more difficult than professional degrees. The mathematics test is as difficult as high school mathematics, so for most people, it is not very difficult. However, the test time is very tight and requires high problem-solving skills and speed. My sister prepared for the exam for three months, but later gave up because she was not good at math and changed her major.

Generally speaking, mathematics is still very important when preparing for the tourism management major. In addition, according to her, the difficulty of mathematics in the management joint examination has also increased in recent years, and mathematics is becoming more and more important in the postgraduate entrance examination. It's becoming more and more obvious. The English test is English II, which is between CET-4 and CET-6 in difficulty. It is relatively easy compared to English I. I won’t go into details here.

The re-examination will involve issues related to the tourism major. Different schools have different requirements. For details, please refer to the official website of each admissions unit. In short, the re-examination should not be taken lightly. Two people in her class also entered the tourism management major of Shaanxi Normal University for interviews at the same time. Later, only one person was admitted, which shows that a considerable number of people will be eliminated in the re-examination.

Selection of undergraduate majors in tourism management

When choosing a major in the college entrance examination, tourism management is not a popular major. On the contrary, the tourism management major in every school is almost the lowest score line of the school. I Most of the students in the sisters' class were transferred to this major. Later, nearly ten students changed majors to study other majors, which is enough to show that the major is extremely unpopular.

By the way, let’s talk about the teaching of tourism management major. I personally think that this major is not suitable for today’s undergraduate students. First of all, the professional curriculum is messy. There are many courses to be learned on the surface, but in fact they are not learned in depth. Undergraduate students majoring in tourism management must study advanced mathematics, linear algebra, microeconomics, macroeconomics, tourism policies and regulations, tour guide practice, tourism project planning, tourism English and other courses, including mathematics, statistics, tourism, Knowledge in various disciplines such as specialized linguistics. Tourism management is originally a highly interdisciplinary subject. It is understandable that the courses are many and complicated. However, its complexity also means that it is very lacking in professional depth, which often makes people feel "study lonely" "Feeling.

Secondly, the tourism management major is a discipline that emphasizes experience accumulation and practical application. However, today's university education is often limited to classrooms, with few training opportunities and very limited teaching effects.

In short, judging from the choice of undergraduate majors, tourism management is not very competitive, and in fact it does not seem to be a cost-effective major.
