Sharpen your competitive edge
The business side of sports offers a range of careers you may not know exist. And, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the field is growing faster than the average for other occupations.
In LaGrange’s Sports Management program you’ll learn to apply business principles to the sports industry, with an emphasis on team development and administration and financial management, as well as leadership and ethics in sports. You’ll develop the skills teams are looking for in their “behind the scenes” players.
Combine this field with another LaGrange major or minor and you can double, or even triple, your sports career options.
