The Event Planning and Management Certificate program provides a comprehensive foundation for a career in event planning and catering. The program begins with an introduction to various facets of the event industry where students identify the key areas that base different types of events and venues. After learning classroom theory, students then apply their knowledge by planning, preparing, budgeting, executing, and following up from real-life events in the student-run restaurant and meeting room settings.
These courses allow students the opportunity to participate in college division courses with matriculated students.
