EXPLORE THE SPORT & RECREATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) Logo

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.

Sport and Recreation Management is a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree. 

This sport management degree program has been granted Candidacy Status by the Commission on Sport Management Accreditation (COSMA), located in Fort Collins, CO, USA. Candidacy Status is not an accredited status, but a step toward seeking accreditation by COSMA. See additional info at COSMA Profile Data.
