This minor is offered jointly with the College of Visual and Performing Arts (School of Theater).

This minor, available to all Mason undergraduate students, offers the opportunity to study special event management and event technologies, design and production for installations and special events. Students will gain insights into industry standards and practices regarding planning, managing, and executing live events and presentations.
