Curriculum
About This Program
The acquisition of knowledge regarding the internal and external factors that influence sport in society enables students to use accepted techniques of discovery and critical thinking to solve problems, evaluate opinions and determine outcomes within the sport management area.
To earn a Bachelor of Science in Sport Management, a student must successfully complete 120 credits of prescribed coursework. Professional core courses, related option courses and specialization electives are taken during your last two years of work.
As part of the degree program, students must complete either an approved 12-credit internship or opt for the non-internship option. The 12-credit internship is an approved 12-week internship that takes place in a full semester of the student’s choice, after the student has earned at least 60 credit hours. Students who declare the non-internship option can replace the 12-credit internship with 12 credits of non-internship pre-approved SPM courses. Students should consult the internship coordinator or an academic advisor for more information.
