Bachelor of Science in Tourism and Event Management

Program Overview

The tourism and event degree program at Niagara University prepares students for management careers facilitating these experiences and understanding the leadership needs of the industry.

Tourism allows visitors to learn, discover, experience, and enjoy culture. Through coursework and field experience, our students meet the challenges of this rapidly changing industry in which leadership, information technology, multiculturalism, and internationalization play key roles in business management.

The curriculum is based on the demands of the industry and the core principles of a dynamic business environment with specialized emphasis on the unique technological, managerial, and analytical requirements of managers and executives coordinating five-star experiences. Integrated throughout the curriculum is an emphasis on globalization, leadership, and technological advances in tourism and event coordination.

The program encourages further specialization through the achievement of a single or double concentration. Niagara’s open curriculum allows future managers to build their own concentrations to best suit their interests and future plans. Students select from coursework around tourism destination management, and event and meeting management.
