The sport administration minor provides students the basic competencies desired in the administration of athletics, recreation and sport. In addition to obtaining theoretical knowledge in the classroom, students have the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a practical experience of organizing and managing a sport event. Students are not required to major in either the sport studies or sport management departments. Students choosing this minor should be motivated in the proper and ethical administration of sports programs.
