What is Sport Management?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The success or failure of a sport program isn\u2019t just related to what happens on the field\u2014there is a cohort of people behind the scenes who make it all materialize.It takes planning, marketing, venue management, public and community relations, accounting and more to support a thriving sport program at the community, collegiate or professional level. Our Sport Management students learn the business of sport in our hands-on classes<\/strong>. From creating sponsorship proposals to risk management plans, our students graduate with the skills they need to take on anything in the sport management field with a high level of professionalism and expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n
