Completing the Meetings and Events Management Certificate

The Meetings and Events Management Certificate (MEMC) may be pursued in combination with a bachelor’s degree. It will be open to all Penn State students in residence, regardless of major. The certificate will be awarded upon completion of 15 credits, including 9 core course credits and 6 additional supplemental credits in Hospitality Management (HM) and/or RPTM. Students enrolled in this program must obtain a cumulative GPA of 2.50 for the 15 credits to be awarded the MEMC upon graduation.

Both HM and RPTM students should meet with their academic advisers prior to enrolling in the MEMC to determine how the courses can be counted towards their degree requirements. Students pursuing degrees other than HM or RPTM should consult with their academic adviser, to determine which of the required or supplemental courses for the MEMC can be counted towards their degree requirements.
