As the global theme park industry continues to thrive, there is a growing need for skilled professionals who understand the intricacies of managing and operating theme parks and attractions. UCF’s new program aims to bridge this gap by equipping students with the knowledge and skills required to excel in this exciting field.

The Theme Park and Attraction Management Degree will offer a comprehensive curriculum that combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on experiential learning. The program will cover various aspects of theme park and attraction management, including:

1. Theme Park Operations: Students will gain a deep understanding of the operational aspects of theme parks, including ride management, crowd control, safety protocols, and visitor experience enhancement.
2. Entertainment Production: This component of the program will focus on the creation and execution of captivating entertainment experiences within theme parks. Students will learn about show design, live performances, audiovisual technologies, and special effects.
3. Business Management: To succeed in the theme park industry, students need a strong foundation in business principles. The program will include courses in marketing, finance, human resources, and strategic management tailored specifically for the theme park and attraction sector.
4. Guest Experience and Hospitality: Central to the success of any theme park is the guest experience. Students will learn about guest services, customer relationship management, hospitality best practices, and the importance of delivering exceptional service to visitors.

UCF’s proximity to renowned theme parks, such as Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort, and SeaWorld Orlando, provides an ideal setting for students to gain real-world experience. The university has established strong partnerships with these industry leaders, offering students valuable opportunities for internships, practical training, and networking. These connections ensure that students can apply their knowledge in a practical setting and build relationships with professionals in the field.
