About the Program
The Bachelor of Science in Event and Meeting Management is designed for students seeking careers as event and meeting professionals. MSU Denver is one of only four programs in the country to offer a standalone baccalaureate degree in event and meeting management. The curriculum is based on the Meeting and Business Event Competency Standards (MBECS) by Meeting Professionals International. Meeting and Event Management is recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor as a specific business sector, distinct from Lodging and Tourism. This degree prepares students for a variety of career paths within this fast-growing industry. The in-depth course of study examines the interrelated industry components of corporate events, conventions, trade shows, special events, and other specialty areas not routinely taught in other programs. Our highly experienced faculty are certified in teaching various areas of event and meeting management and maintain active participation in industry associations, advisory board, and committees.
