Introduction
BA in Hospitality Management (Meetings and Events Management)
Have you always imagined yourself orchestrating events, from fantastic charity galas to blockbuster music festivals to intimate, protocol-driven receptions?
The Chicagoland area is a perfect location to pursue this course of study. Chicago is home to McCormick Place, North America's largest exhibition, and events space. And as corporate event planning is a growth industry, it is important to note that hundreds of prominent corporations and organizations are also headquartered in the area.
At the heart of any event or meeting, there is a manager or planner who can apply an eye for detail to every element. This concentration will help you cultivate that ability, as well as develop the leadership and teamwork skills critical to success.
In addition, you'll study coursework that focuses on how to market special events, make smart vendor and contract decisions, and work closely with clients to fulfill their specific needs.
Our coursework focuses directly on the particular logistic demands of tradeshows, association, and corporate meetings, galas and fundraisers, and milestone celebrations.
