Sport Management Minor ~ Overview

The Sport Management minor exposes you to everything from ethics to the financing of sport. You gain the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to coach at youth, interscholastic and intercollegiate levels. You can 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 organization and business aspects involved in producing, facilitating, promoting and organizing any product related to sport, fitness and recreation.
• The Coaching track focuses on the general concepts, skills, abilities, techniques and knowledge related to coaching, and the training and preparation of 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.

Integration with Majors

The Sport Management minor interfaces with Business Administration, Environmental Science, Technology & 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.
