With a focus on modern management theory and business concepts, we aim to provide an education that mixes classroom knowledge with an inside look at the industry. On-the-job experience is an important aspect of the department?s mission, with many students completing internships with organizations such as professional sports teams, collegiate athletic departments and conferences, public and private facilities, event agencies, and sports marketing and consulting firms.

The program prepares students for a wide variety of jobs in the sports and recreation industries, including:

  • Management
  • Marketing
  • Media
  • Sales
  • Law
  • Facilities administration
