An internship program is available for qualified students as part
of the major area specialization. The internships provide students
with an opportunity to apply what has been learned in class to
practical situations in the field. The experience gained through
internships has assisted graduates in obtaining positions in public
and media relations, advertising, promotion, marketing, ticket
sales, finance, purchasing and the general administration of
sports.
As one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, sports
requires the expertise of well-educated business leaders to handle
a variety of diversified responsibilities.
The program in
Sport Management leads to a Bachelor of Science degree and is
offered by the College of Professional Studies to students seeking
an entry-level management position in college and professional
sports or the leisure and recreation business. The Sports
Management program is the first baccalaureate degree program in the
United States to provide internships with numerous organizations in
the many areas of sports management and benefits from the advice of
professionals.
