Sport Management is a business full of big budget decisions and complex negotiations.

On the other hand, you might devote yourself to running your city’s youth basketball association. Whatever direction you take, you’ll need to draw on your knowledge of health, fitness, business, and law. Sports Management majors learn how to use legal and business principles to run athletic programs, sports teams, fitness facilities, and health clubs.
