Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Sports Management

This program focus on: the preparation of students to allow them to pursue careers in physical education, sport and related professions; the in-depth study of physical education and sport; and the teaching of basic skills in a wide range of activities. The degree programs can prepare students for a career in physical education, athletic coaching, and sport management. Interdisciplinary programs may meet their needs if students have sport-related career goals. Many classes involve active participation in sport and fitness activities. Career options include high school, collegiate, amateur, and professional sport management, sport business management, coaching, or employment with non-profit sport agencies. Coordinated major/minor programs are available on an interdepartmental basis to broaden the employment opportunities in sport retail, merchandising, journalism, broadcasting, or exercise science. Such coordinated programs require early advisement.
