What really drives you? For some, it’s being fully immersed in sports and opportunities in recreation. For others, life after the game is the game. A career in coaching, facilities management, or sports marketing and promotion are a calling, a lifestyle that embraces the glory of sport and the health and wellness benefits of recreation - or a combination of both. Whatever drives you, the vastness of career paths in sports and recreation is worth the pursuit. From professional leagues to the community programs, your future in one of the most captivating industries worldwide is waiting.

Depending on your major, you’ll find opportunities to be in the field, the lab, the classroom, or engaging in simulated scenarios that give you a competitive edge when you enter the workforce or head to grad school. You’ll learn the concepts and then actively apply them through projects, field trips, site visits, internships, and interactions with professionals in the field.
