The sport management undergraduate major is designed to give students an overview of the field, and the specifics needed in their future area of expertise.  Students choose an approved minor to round out their knowledge base, and enter into field experiences to build their skills for the profession.  Our official goals and objectives include the statement that upon graduation, students are expected to:

• Explain that sport is a microcosm of society and is influenced by cultural traditions, social values, and psycho-social experiences;
