This minor provides students the opportunity to explore sports as a business and possible career. The resources of three departments combine to offer two perspectives on this major economic force and shaper of society. Mass Media, Economics Management and Accounting, and Health and Physical Education provide a core of common courses and then tracks in "Sports Administration" and "Sports Information." Students take the core and choose one track.
Career opportunities for suitably-qualified graduates range from community groups, through all grades in a school system, into colleges and universities, and then ultimately reach professional sports. Recreation is now a serious business and requires management. Likewise, the increasing interest in "wellness" is providing career and entrepreneurial opportunities for qualified students.
