I think High Point has a Meeting and Event Planning major! I'm an HPU fan and ignore the haters. There is a lot going on down at High Point University and it is certainly something to look into.

Being a Californian, I don't understand USC's attraction, cost ( $96k a year) and don't value its academics, however, it does have a "small business" major. On the other hand, a relative shilled out $400k to attend and is only a real estate agent (very low access bar in CA).


You’re the same poster throwing shade at USC on every thread. We get it, you didn’t get in and didn’t have the money to attend.
