Sport Management

Students pursuing a Sport Management Certificate will complete coursework that prepares them to meet specific occupational needs in sport management. This certificate will help students upgrade skills to help advance their career in this field.

We anticipate 10 students will earn a certificate or degree annually.

Upon completion of this program, the student will be able to:

1. Demonstrate personal and professional development by reviewing current literature, participating in association, or sharing knowledge and experience with others.
2. Develop and articulate a statement of values or code of ethics related to the major that reflects one's respect for different ideas, people, and cultures.
3. Utilize the theories of exercise physiology and sport management and apply them to sport and fitness pedagogy.
4. Identify and apply standards required by the profession of choice.

The Sport Management Certificate has a broad spectrum of career opportunities. Students may have a career in, but not limited to: amateur athletics, facilities and event management, professional teams and leagues, sport merchandising, leisure and fitness, or sport media. Many of these employers can range from state employees to private businesses.
