THE DISCIPLINE:
The Experience Industry Management emphasis is
comprised of a 21-credit EIM core and two specialization
tracks: Venue and Event Management, and Youth and
Community Development. Majors will select one of these
tracks and complete a minimum of 9-credit hours in the
chosen track.
Venue and Event Management: Venue and event
management applies leadership and management
expertise as well as experience staging skills to recreation
activities and events. Venues are the locale in which
recreation experiences and events occur.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES:
The Experience Industry Management emphasis
prepares students to provide recreation experiences to
diverse populations and manage a variety of recreation
venues: public, private, or nonprofit. Varied career
opportunities exist and include planning corporate and
community events and festivals; managing community
recreation venues (e.g., pools, sports fields, ice sheets);
directing youth sports; managing departments within
sporting arenas, conference centers, expo centers,
performing arts facilities; directing youth-serving
agencies; and directing and managing military recreation
programs and venues.
Youth and Community Development: The focus of the
youth and community development track is studying the
environmental, societal, and psychological influences
recreation experiences can have on communities and
their citizens across the lifespan. Effective recreation
experiences are intentionally designed to foster positive
community environments and citizen interactions as well
as contribute to positive youth development.

*Deadline to apply for the program is the last
business day of June by 4:30 p.m.

Please check with departments for current availability of all courses.
Note: Students are encouraged to complete an average of 15 credit hours each semester or
30 credit hours each year, which could include spring and/or summer terms. Taking fewer
credits substantially increases the cost and the number of semesters to graduate.
