Sport Administration Major (B.S.)


The sport administration major is designed to prepare students for sport industry leadership positions in intercollegiate athletic administration, professional sports, facility and event operations, marketing and public relations, law, interscholastic athletic administration, sport business, and related fields. Every course is grounded in leadership skills such as punctuality, problem-solving, professional speaking and intentionality. Students must have a minimum GPA of 2.50 for admission to the program and must maintain a minimum 2.30 GPA to remain in the program. If, at any time a student falls below a 2.30 GPA overall, a one-semester probation will be implemented. After this probation, if a student’s overall GPA remains below 2.30, he/she will be dismissed from the program for one academic year. Students in the major must also complete a minor in order to graduate.
