Hey guys. I'm interested in majoring in Event Planning, but I'm having trouble finding colleges that offer this program. Any ideas about schools renowned for their Event Planning program? Thanks in advance!
Choosing a college is indeed a significant decision and it's good to see you're looking for one that aligns with your career goals. For Event Planning, you may want to look at colleges that offer a strong hospitality management program as they often cover essential event planning skills. These programs typically offer courses in event management, event promotion, and even specific topics like wedding planning.
Lasell University, located in Newton, Massachusetts, offers a concentration in Event Management under their Hospitality Management major. The concentration focuses on wedding planning, corporate event planning, and event design and decor.
University of Central Florida’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management also offers an Event Management B.S. degree, which provides students with varied event planning knowledge.
George Mason University in Virginia offers a Tourism and Event Management major. The program focuses not only on planning and management, but also on culture, history, and the environment, providing a well-rounded education for a future event planner.
I would also recommend looking at online reviews and reaching out to current students or alumni to get an understanding of the student experience. Best of luck with your college search!
