"Of all our social institutions, sport uniquely brings together people across age, class, regional and ethnic boundaries and gives them a shared focus for discussion and, perhaps especially, an opportunity to express identification, commitments and emotions..."

"Sport management is defined as the field of study offering the specialized training and education necessary for individuals seeking careers in any of the many segments of the industry. Commercial sport areas such as golf courses, ski areas, water parks and beach and lake operations, leisure parks, and recreation camps offer many opportunities for management positions. There is a critical shortage of female coaches and sport administrators. The opportunities for commercial and nonprofit programs in exercise leisure activities, and sport for the older adult are enormous. Jobs in the management and operation of these programs and many more will be plentiful for those properly trained. Whether you want to coach, teach, or administer a high school athletic program or a marathon, this minor will expose you to the challenges, the opportunities, and the rewards, and prepare you for entry-level positions in sport from which you can grow."
