Known as the MBA for the hospitality industry, FIU’s online master’s degree in Hospitality Management with a specialization in Mega Events is an applied business degree that gives you the flexibility to learn in your own space, at your own pace.
Mega-Events, defined here as events with more than 10,000 attendees, are becoming more common, with attendance at programs growing on average 22% in the last ten years. Larger events are inherently more complicated, requiring additional security and facility concerns, as well as presenting greater budgetary and marketing pressures. Such considerations are not typically addressed in most event management educational programs, but are the specific focus of this master’s program. This program has been developed for those who have mastered the basics of event management and are now looking to prepare themselves for their next step in their career development. Courses focus on festivals, trade shows, major conventions, sports events, and concerts. Students without prior event experience or event management education will need to complete specified prerequisite preparation before taking the advanced event courses.
With a wide range of careers, the hospitality industry is one of the largest sectors in the service industry and provides a vast number of opportunities for those with an MS in Hospitality Management – Mega Events Specialization.
