Department of Tourism, Event, and Sport Management
The tourism, event, and sport management department offers four major programs for earning a Bachelor of Science in Tourism, Event, and Sport Management (B.S.T.E.S.M.). Students can earn a BSTESM with a major in event management, hospitality, sport management, or tourism. The department offers five certificate degree programs and one minor.
IU Indianapolis gives students several advantages when it comes to studying sports, hospitality, tourism, and events. Students gain hands-on career experience while learning from professors who help land premier volunteer gigs, coveted internships, unique co-ops, and unparalleled experiences.
Each students' education goes beyond the classroom. Students will be behind the scenes, at the game, in the crowd, and within the center of it all! They benefit from all the things that make Indy a great place to live and work: sports, museums, festivals, venues, restaurant, hotels, and more.
No matter their major, students will graduate with a business foundations certificate from the prestigious Kelley School of Business alongside their BSTESM. Students also can earn credit for current and previous work experiences, double major, or add certificates and minors. As an engaged student in the heart of the state's tourism and events hub, you'll build a professional network and strong resume even before you graduate.
