A new field of study was approved by the Collin College Board of Trustees recently. This opportunity will be available this fall semester, which begins Monday, Aug. 27.
Meetings and Event Management
The Institute of Hospitality and Culinary Education located at the Preston Ridge Campus is offering this new associate of applied science degree totaling 64 hours that compliments the Meetings and Event Management certification program that the college has offered for five years.
Among the new courses included in the associate degree in Meetings and Event Management are “International Meetings and Conventions,” “Group Tour Operations” and a required internship (cooperative work experience). Students who earn an associate degree in Meetings and Event Management can obtain positions at hotels in sales or convention services or work with the social, military, educational, religious and fraternal (SMERF) market.
