The Sports Management program provides students with the opportunity to pursue careers at all levels of sports management, from local recreational facilities to professional organizations.  This degree leads to possible employment in three sports industry segments:  Spectator, Participant, and Consumer.  Students will be prepared to enter the workforce in entry-level positions and/or continue their education through articulation agreements with local four-year institutions. 

The coursework is designed to give the student a broad-based understanding of management, finance, accounting, marketing, communications, and the legal aspects of business as it relates to the sports industry.  Specific coursework in Sports Management will provide students with knowledge of the role of sports in society and the role of management in sports.  The curriculum is also designed to give students the foundation needed to prepare for the national certification exam administered by the Sports Management Institute.
