The Department of Sport Management familiarizes students with all aspects of the sports industry and prepares them to be leaders of the future.
Sports business is big business
Our goal is to create a stimulating and cooperative learning environment for analyzing issues pertaining to the business and culture of sports. As one of the few sport-based degree programs housed within a business school, we offer a comprehensive, business-focused curriculum that incorporates classroom learning with real-world, experiential learning.
Sport management students may enroll in the 4+1 MBA program during their senior year. This option enables students to graduate with two degrees in five years: a Bachelor of Science degree in Sport Management and an M.B.A. A minor in sport management is also available.
