Sports is big business: estimates put the sports industry’s gross annual revenues at over $324 billion worldwide, with nearly half of that amount generated in the United States. America’s sports fans are now legion, embracing all kinds of athletic activities as well as teams on the recreational, amateur, semi-pro, collegiate and professional levels. Planning, managing and promoting sporting events, helping to manage teams, merchandising products, promoting athletic stars, supporting sports associations and sponsoring special sports events — all of these thriving areas create career opportunities for individuals who want to dedicate their lives to working in or promoting a sport.
PRTM degrees groom professionals in this field and helps elevate its standards with academic instruction in all sports-related topics, from operations to facilities management, finance, marketing and more — preparing students for positions within all sectors of the sports industry, including professional organizations and college athletics. PRTM also works with other N.C. State colleges to conduct research into sports practices, and offers its expertise to the public through a variety of extension and outreach services.
