HM 439 - Special Events Management: Capstone

3 Credit Hours

  From a royal wedding to the Super Bowl, from Daytona 500 to a family wedding; every special event requires attention to the same key areas: planning, scheduling, organization, accounting, marketing, safety, use of technology, and legal issues. This course incorporates the core areas of the curriculum as students are required to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the Hospitality Management curriculum combined with the Event and Entertainment Management Concentration curriculum through an integrated capstone course. Students will plan, cost, coordinate, develop, manage, execute, and evaluate a special event from the conceptual design through completion.
