Sports Management

This course is now closed for the 2008
Summer Season

Sports Management students learn what it takes
to manage and market professional and
collegiate athletic organizations; own and
manage a sport-related business; or serve as
an agent, lawyer, coach, or other member of a
major sports organization.

Teachers draw upon real-world examples to
showcase the fascinating world of Sports
Management, a unique profession that
combines knowledge of athletics with business,
journalism, communications, and social
psychology. Students gain an understanding of the fundamental skills required to manage a
sports team and individual players, including the math used in statistics and accounting. As part of
the course, students also take a field trip to visit with representatives of a professional sports team.
