When it comes to show business, are you more about the business and less about the show? Are you more about signing deals instead of autographs? Whether you want to manage your own entertainment company, produce shows, events or projects, work as a talent agent or manager, or launch your career in the A&R department of a record label, the Event and Talent Management program is for you. It will prepare you for a career in the business and management side of the entertainment industry by providing a broad-based business education coupled with specific industry intelligence and practical real-world experience.

The program provides you with foundational business and management skills, covering topics such as legal, finance, marketing, business development and operations, management, business communications, business and communication technology, and professional development. You will then apply your knowledge and skills to the specifics of the entertainment industry with a focus on music, film and TV, games, sports, and digital media. Talent management, and event management and promotion are covered for each of the focus areas. You will gain real-world skills by working on projects and walk away with a portfolio that will get you the job.
