# Nightclub University UNLV Teaches the 'Academics of Party Planning' By GLuxe | Published 2008-05-11 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/university-nightclub-courses-sin-citys-unlv-broadens-curriculum References: [gluxe.blogspot](http://gluxe.blogspot.com/2008/05/best-university-ever.html) & [lasvegassun](http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2008/may/10/academics-party-planning/#/Show_the_way/) Only a university based in Sin City would have the moxie to offer an actual class on how to run a night club. I guess its not unreasonable to believe that all those strippers really are attending college with their tip money. Want to make some real cash after graduation? Forget about [Harvard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smashfest) or [Stanford](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-campus-collection), go to UNLV! We need to give props to our [Mountain West](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-4-a-purpose) brethren after reading this article on their Nightclub Management class. **Implications** - The night classes at UNLV are more than a little unconventional. In an official lecture format, they teach all of the important skills university students pick up in their four years like how to throw an exclusively adult pool party in Vegas featuring cheap drinks, topless dancers and more. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Education](https://www.trendhunter.com/education) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Nightclub Management Education:** Opportunity for universities to offer specialized programs on nightclub management, attracting students interested in pursuing careers in the nightlife industry. - **Experiential Learning:** Opportunity for universities to provide hands-on learning experiences for students interested in event planning and entertainment industry careers. - **Alternative Education Paths:** Opportunity for students to explore non-traditional educational opportunities that focus on niche industries like nightlife management. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Higher Education:** Universities can develop specialized programs and courses in nightclub management to meet the demand for industry-specific education. - **Hospitality and Entertainment:** Opportunity for businesses in the hospitality and entertainment industries to collaborate with universities to provide internships and experiential learning opportunities for students interested in nightclub management. - **Event Planning and Management:** With the growing demand for unique and immersive events, event planning and management companies can tap into the pool of graduates with specialized knowledge in nightclub management. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Card Game-Themed Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uno-social-club.md) - [Experience Cocktail Workshops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spirithouse-toronto.md) - [Virtual Mixology Classes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-mixology-class.md) - [Esports Management Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/university-of-sunderland.md) - [University Esports Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manchester-university.md) - [Playful Student-Targeted Interactive Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-one-arcade.md) - [Cannabis Business Certificates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabis-business.md) - [Nightlife Fashion Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unvrs-and-offwhite.md) - [Esports Management Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/itti-sports.md)
