Event Management & Tourism

The travel and tourism industry offers opportunities to young men and women as reservationists, travel agency managers, tour planners, tour wholesalers in airline positions, event managers, and more. Fringe benefits often include generous vacations, free trip passes, and travel opportunities at reduced fares. Sullivan University’s programs in tourism and event management are unique in that they combine training in the tourism and event management industries with business skills, thus qualifying graduates for more than one area of employment.

Sullivan University’s event management and tourism associate degree students take two trips during their program of study. The first trip, taken during the first year of study, takes students to major cities and tourist attractions in the United States. The second trip is via plane and cruise ship to major island resorts. The cruise ship trip takes place during the fall quarter break in September of the second year of study.
