This study aimed to investigate characteristics of curriculum of MICE(Meeting, Incentive tours, Convention, Exhibition) related majors in Korean universities. To investigate the curriculum characteristics, the study analyzed scope and sequence of MICE majors. The study also examined a relevance of curriculum to the needs of MICE industry. Data were collected from the web sites and of 13 Korean universities which had MICE related majors. The results said that MICE majors did not have differentiated scope from other hotel management majors or tourism related majors, and that MICE majors did not have enough practical training programme. The study also found that MICE major curriculum partially met the needs of MICE industry. As practical implications, the study suggested that MICE curriculum scope should be extended and that curriculum sequence should contain more practical training programmes.
