Sport Management Minor ~ Overview
The Sport Management Minor exposes you to everything from the ethics of sport to the financing of sport. You gain the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to coach at youth, interscholastic, and intercollegiate levels. You also learn about sport law, risk management, sport licensing, sport marketing, and more.
The Sport Management Minor offers two tracks: Administration and Coaching. The Administration track focuses on the people, activities, organizations, and businesses involved in producing, facilitating, promoting, or organizing any product related to sport, fitness, or recreation. The Coaching track focuses on the concepts, skills, abilities, techniques, and knowledge related to coaching in general, and the training and preparation of student-athletes and teams for competition.
Sport management is a multidisciplinary field of study. Given its nature, sport management requires the cooperation of several disciplines, especially business administration, physical education, and exercise and sport sciences. Sport management is concerned with the coordination of material and human resources (clients, and both paid and volunteer workers); technologies (facilities, equipment, process, and knowledge units underlying the production process); support units dealing with facilities, events, legal affairs, etc.; and contextual factors such as organizational type, interorganizational networks, governmental regulations, and community expectations.
The Sport Management Minor interfaces with Business Administration, Earth Systems Science & Policy, Integrated Studies, Liberal Studies, and other CSUMB majors to prepare you for careers in sports marketing, facilities management, event management, sports information, sport tourism, athletic training, coaching, sports science, and other sports management professions.
