Bachelor of Science in Business Administration - Sports Management Concentration

With the recent increase in the amount of people’s time spent in leisure activities, a corresponding growth in both private and public sports facilities has occurred. The administration and management of such operations is the focus of the Sports Management program.

The curriculum provides students with the necessary blend of business skills, management techniques, and understanding of human sport and recreation needs. Specific course offerings focus on business activities such as sales and promotion, accounting, budget preparation and fund raising and relate these administrative activities to sports facility management. Practical physical education courses and a career internship experience are combined with electives chosen with respect to the student’s specific career interest.

Graduates of this program should be able to demonstrate an understanding of business and management concepts; demonstrate competency in fitness, team sports, individual and lifetime sports; and enter a wide range of professional sports administration careers in public, private, profit/non-profit organizations and industries.
