Sport Management| Major

Interdisciplinary Program

The sport management program is an interdisciplinary program designed to blend general management skills with the specific demands of sports organizations. Built on a foundation of business specific courses, the sport management curriculum provides students with an in-depth understanding of the role that sport plays in society and the role of management in sport on a domestic and global level. Students learn the history, legality, economics and communication system of sport.

Graduate Preparation

The intensive curriculum incorporates collaborative projects, case studies and internships that propel students to become tomorrow's business leaders. All programs offered by the School of Business offer excellent preparation for further study at the graduate level.
