In addition to course work, all sport management students complete two required practicum experiences, where the student earns academic credit while working in a sports-related organization. The practicum serves the dual purpose of complementing the classroom experience while providing work experience which could prove invaluable during the job search process.

Career opportunities for sport management graduates are many, particularly if you are willing to relocate. Opportunities in sports may be found in a number of areas, including college/professional teams, sports facilities, health/fitness clubs, recreation centers, and league administrative offices. Students interested in careers in college or professional sports are strongly encouraged to consider graduate study in sport management.
