Tourism and hospitality is a field in which a variety of disciplines are studied and brought together to create a solid understanding of the service industry.

This module focuses on concentrations that are currently in demand, creating a specialized niche for those wanting to further their career in the service industry.
Meetings, community, music and film festivals, fundraisers, trade shows, conferences…whether it’s a spectacular celebration or a government entity, coordinating the multiple moving parts of any event requires thorough research, planning, promotion and seamless coordination. This module prepares you to design, plan, and execute successful events.
