SPMM - Sports Management Minor

The Sports Management minor at the University of Providence allows students to prepare for careers in a wide variety of sports related industries. Preparation for positions with collegiate athletic programs, professional sports teams, public and private sports facilities, sports management companies, event management companies, as well as, the skills to engage in their own entrepreneurial businesses are all a part of the students skill set development. Content areas determined by the Commission on Sports Management Accreditation to be essential to any Sports Management program are addressed in the program. Those areas are the social, psychological, and international foundations in sport management; sport management principles, leadership operations, event and venue management, and governance; ethics in sport management; sport marketing and sport communication; finance, accounting and economics; legal aspects of sport; and integrative experiences. For the minor to address most of the COSMA expectations, one additional course was identified to assist in meeting these standards (see course description provided below).
