Become a Sports Industry Leader
The Sport Management major prepares students to succeed in leadership positions in the sport industry (recreational to professional, youth to adult) by providing them with knowledge and skills to critically analyze and innovatively engage in the business and culture of sport.
Sport Management Curriculum and Courses
The Sport Management degree provides many diverse career opportunities and has a strong job placement rate, thanks in part to the well-rounded education and practical experience students receive with internship opportunities in athletics and a required capstone practicum experience. Students will complete courses that focus on topics such as administration, economics, ethics, facilities and event management, marketing, and analytics in sport.

SLAM made me think of sport as something way more than just something you practice and do. I can definitely see it on more of a business level of how to market sport professionally.
