About this Program

This is an exciting time to be interested in the field of sport management. New leagues are forming, many colleges are expanding their athletic departments, and the job market is wide open. Job opportunities include high school athletic director, facilities manager, assistant athletic director/operations, marketing and sports information.

There is so much that happens behind the scenes in sports; from the people who call the plays to the people who maintain the equipment, and everything in between, someone is responsible for managing all of these moving parts. Sports teams are managed by leaders that mold and grow successful sports administrations. At EMU, our sport management program can help to foster the skills needed for you to fulfill your passion!

Have you ever played on a sports team? Did you ever think about how your games were scheduled or who picked the athletic trainers and coaches? With a degree in sports management, you can implement some of these decisions as an athletic director, facilities manager or administrative positions like marketing.
