Minor in Sport Management

Sport as a career follows the trend of sport’s growing importance in society; sport helps define social and cultural identity in American society (Schwab, Dustin, Legg, Arthur-Banning, Timmerman & Wells, 2012). As the field of sport management is one of the fastest growing fields and majors on campus, students are encouraged to diversify their educational and applied experiences (COSMA). In order to diversify, many ESU students major in Sport Management with minors in Communication, Business Management or Spanish. Students interested in careers in the sport management industry could also diversify educational and applied experiences with a Sport Management Minor to compliment many other majors (e.g., Media Communication & Technology, Communication, Business Management).
