Executives in Residence
In 2006, the RTIP launched a program designed to help racing executives/officials abroad to increase their level of education and gain a working knowledge of racing in North America.
The unique position of the RTIP as the only Bachelor of Science and masters Degree program specific to the pari-mutuel racing industry makes the RTIP the logical institution to step forward to offer advanced executive-based educational opportunities.
