Event Management and Design

GES 402 -- 300 hours

Course Overview/Description

Available Winter 2008

This exciting Event Management and Design online program is structured to provide both practical knowledge and a comprehensive understanding of the modern special event industry. Event Management and Design will equip you with the knowledge to advance in the field if you are already working in events, or to prepare you to enter the profession with an understanding of the industry and knowing what you are getting yourself into. Students will build the foundation which you can use to build a career in special events or start your own special event business.

This program is split up into two modules: Special Event Management and Special Event Design and Decoration. Each module includes multiple units complete with interactive media-rich presentations. At the beginning of each unit you will be given a reading assignment that you will need to complete before starting the unit. Each unit will start with a self-assessment to check your understanding of the reading assignment. At the end of each unit, there will be an assessment. Assessments will either be computer graded quizzes, or studio projects that you will submit to the instructor for grading and personal feedback. Quizzes and projects will be based upon both your reading assignment and the information contained within each unit. Students will also be encouraged to participate in discussion forums throughout the program.
