Sport Management BS

Sport Management - 60 Credits

The Sport Management major is designed with the student in mind who has watched, played and been passionate about sport their entire lives and thought 'If have to work somewhere, why not have it be in something that I am so connected to?'. To meet this goal and the needs of an evolving industry, new courses covering international sport & facility/event management have been added to add provide more depth to a program that has sport-based courses in law, management, marketing, finance, media, ethics, sociology & psychology. To get the practical, hands-on experience, the program regularly works with Owls Athletics on projects and the curriculum provides students opportunities for multiple internships.
