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.


At St. Andrews you are not simply told about the world of business and sports, you experience it. Whether it’s participating in coaching intramural athletic events, becoming certified in first aid and CPR or developing a new sports or recreation program, your classes will give you a “hands-on” feel for the world of sports management, and the valuable experience you need for success.

With a student/faculty ratio of 13:1, you are assured of receiving personalized attention from your professors, in everything from your coursework, to advice about potential careers, and to writing recommendations for jobs.

The St. Andrews Sport and Recreation Studies major allows you to obtain a solid background in business principles with an emphasis on their application in the sports arena.
