Sport management majors will demonstrate mastery of concepts crucial to both theoretical and applied work in business and management. Upon completion of basic courses in economics, accounting, marketing, and communication, upper-level students will master the application of these basic business principles to a wide variety of sport settings via courses such as sport and law, risk management, organizational behavior in sport, sport sociology, sport psychology, and sport marketing and management. Upon graduation, students enter careers in sport administration, sport marketing, facilities management, and commercial sports. They are also prepared to enter graduate programs in global sports business, sport management, and business administration.
The 18-credit sport management minor is designed to give students majoring in other disciplines such as business, communications, labor relations, and psychology an opportunity to learn about the sport industry. Students will be exposed to such areas as marketing, administration, law, psychology, and sociology as they relate to the business of sport.
