This major represents a curriculum that educates, trains, and prepares the student to enter the urban sport profession and industry. Due to the vast size, breadth and diversity of the field, it is necessary to provide learning opportunities to compare and contrast systems from a public, quasi-public, private and commercial perspective. The sport managment program is designed to focus on leadership, programming, planning, marketing and promoting, supervisory, administrative and management positions in the urban setting of the profession. This program is approved by the Sport Management Program Review Council (a joint initiative of the North American Society for Sport Management and the National Association for Sport and Physical Education). Career Opportunities As career options students will assume the roles of leaders, directors, managers, supervisors, planners, promoters, program specialists, researchers, and many others. Managing people, programs and resources is inherently woven into the fabric of the role and scope of the sport industry regardless of the nature of the delivery system. Students seeking careers in both public and private sectors of the sport industry will choose this course of study. Career opportunities include, but are not limited to, athletic director, municipal parks and recreational sport leadership, sport management, sport marketing, sport facility management, sport event management, tourism director, and community / voluntary agency sport programming.
