Sport Management BSED



Overview

The primary objective of the sport management program is to provide students with the interdisciplinary knowledge, professional application, critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership skills necessary to effectively manage sport and exercise programs. Students are provided with learning opportunities to acquire the ability to work with and through diverse groups of people to achieve stated organizational goals. Proficient application of business principles to the sport industry distinguishes this program, which is characterized by helping students develop a foundation in finance, economics, budgeting, marketing, law, governance and policy, facility design, event operations, and human resources management so that students can then apply these general principles to the sport industry. Students are also prepared to possess the competitive knowledge and skills to effectively communicate their ideas through both written and oral forms of presentations.
