Sport and Recreation Studies

The love of sports can lead to a great career, maybe not as a professional athlete but certainly in the business arena. Business encompasses many aspects of our daily lives. In everything from running a sporting goods store to managing a minor league baseball team, we must manage our resources while trying to succeed. Our bachelor's program has been developed based upon national professional standards.
