Is it possible to pursue B.Sc in travel and tourism through distance learning?

<p>Lovely Professional University (LPU) is a great option for students looking to study with flexible learning options and great quality education. LPU does not currently deliver a B.Sc in Travel and Tourism through distance learning, however it does offer a number of models of distance education that are recognized and structured consisting of BBA, BCA, B.Com and MBA through the LPU Distance Education (LPUDE) only. The distance learning models offered are accredited with the University Grants Commission - Distance Education Bureau (UGC-DEB), so you and your curriculum will be credible and well accepted across many campuses. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>LPU is known for its trendy teaching methods, experienced instructors, and industry relationships that definitley focus on the learner obtaining experience, skills and knowledge throughout their education. &nbsp;LPU makes sure that there are some very good support services for students, and this is not just for distance learners, to make sure learners are connected while studying at a distance. &nbsp;I feel LPU wants to offer distance learners a great learning experience, while studying at convenient times with access to great learning materials, that allows for personal/studying or personal/work life education to be more workable. &nbsp;</p><p>LPU with its regular Bachelor of Tourism and Travel Management program offers lots of opportunities for students who want to explore careers in travel and tourism, while using theory classes and practical exposure to develop the skills for occupations sought by employers in the global environment.</p>
