B.B.A. with a Concentration in Sports Management
The Department of Business is committed to providing degree programs that will prepare students to thrive in the corporate arena, in mission-based enterprises, or as entrepreneurs. Program faculty support the college-wide student learning outcomes of communication, critical thinking, creativity, and connectivity through a series of courses that develop an increasingly nuanced understanding of the complexities of business. Sports Management is a concentration offered within the Business Program that prepare students who intend to work in the front office, in sports sales or marketing, in athletic departments in educational institutions, or as clients representing athletes in diverse fields.
A student seeking to earn a BBA with a concentration in Sports Management must satisfy the Gateway (pre-major) courses, complete the Business Common Core, and 18 hours of concentration courses.
