RPTM 310Experience Design and Event Management

3 credits · Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management · Penn State

The Experience Design and Events Management course prepares students to practice strategic event management, project management, and program budgeting and develop a knowledge base in event technologies. Students will also focus on experience design, learning and applying human-centered design processes (e.g., elements of experience and experience mapping and creating personas) that lead to purposeful audience-centered experiences. Finally, students participate in a global and cultural engagement experience to explore these ideas in and outside the classroom. Using the latest communication and social media tools, students engage with event/programmed experiences in locations and with people who offer diverse perspectives on events and experiences.
