Do you desire to be the driving force behind successful events, from weddings to parties to special events? Can you imagine coordinating logistics for a corporate event or a convention for over 1,000 attendees? Working in event management requires dedication, attention to detail and exceptional organizational skills. Graduates can look forward to a wonderful and varied career where no two projects are the same!

The most successful event managers understand exactly what it takes to be in charge of an event – from its conception through to execution. You will learn how to act as the key liaison point for your clients, suppliers and third parties as well as how to make sure that every single detail of the event goes to plan – from drawing up floor plans, scheduling music and finalizing catering requirements to making sure the VIP arrivals go smoothly.

The Event Management degree includes courses in wedding planning, floral design, professional cooking, corporate events and trade shows, information technology, accounting, bartending and beverage management, hospitality law, hotel and restaurant cost control, and more.
