I'm going into my senior year of high school, so I am beginning my college search. My number 1 choice is Bentley College in MA, because I want to major in business management. Can anyone here tell me what ski resort management is exactly because I want to see if I could possibly minor in this area.
Thanks!

i think the scheduling of events and things would be more like a marketing thing

I graduated in '05 from Western State College in Gunnison CO (30 min from Crested Butte where I lived the whole time and still do)
Double Major:
Business
Recreation
Emphasis:
Ski and Resort Management
Sweet major, getting a bus degree, learning all that as well as the rec, and you def get to learn how to scheduale, manage people in a resort setting, etc.
Other schools like CMC (Colorado Mountain College) will teach you to run snow cats, lift opp. etc, in a two year program. those are in Leadville, Steamboat, Breck.

A University has many schools within itself, which divides up majors into each corresponding school, while a college is just one school with a diverse set of majors.

which is why it's often necessary to have multiple schools.
