One of two Interdisciplinary Studies sport minors, the Sport Administration minor program offers interested students the opportunity to explore administrative and related skills. Participation in an applied outside experience (i.e., practicum/internship or independent study) is strongly recommended.

The Sport Administration minor provides students with background in (a) the behavioral dimensions of sport, (b) general management and organizational skills and issues, (c) sport-specific management principles, strategies, and issues; (d) marketing, finance, and legal issues, and (e) communication and ethical issues.

The course categories included in this program were strongly influenced by the Sport Management Program Standards established by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education and the North American Society for Sport Management. This track will aid in the preparation and viability of students for jobs and graduate work in sport management, marketing, and public relations.
