Sport Management - Bachelor of Science in Sport Leadership and Management
The sport industry is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the United States. The sport management major provides many diverse career opportunities and has a strong job placement rate, thanks in part to the well-rounded education and practical experience students receive with internship opportunities and a required capstone practicum experience. This program prepares students to succeed in leadership positions in the sport industry (recreational to professional, youth to adult) by providing them with knowledge and skills to critically analyze and innovatively engage in the business and culture of sport. Students will complete courses that focus on topics such as administration, economics, ethics, facilities and event management, marketing, and analytics in sport. Students major in sport management may not major in sport coaching or minor in sport management.
