Programs: Sport management

The NDSU sport management program offers the opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of the sports industry and the skills necessary to succeed in various careers within the discipline.

One of the unique aspects of this program is the emphasis on hands-on learning experiences. Students are encouraged to apply their classroom knowledge to real-world situations through internships, practicums and other experiential learning opportunities. These experiences provide students with valuable industry contacts and practical skills that set them apart in the job market.

Isaac Getz, an NDSU junior from Wahpeton, North Dakota, said sport management is the behind-the-scenes work of the industry and many things come together to create a cohesive product. Getz said facility management and equipment management are perfect examples of the diversity of careers within the discipline. In addition, Getz said the program has prepared him for a success by providing him with hands-on, real-world experiences, like managing the women's basketball team at NDSU. Those experiences helped open valuable networking opportunities, he said.

The sport management program offers a variety of courses that cover a wide range of topics related to the sports industry. Some of the core courses include sport marketing, sport law, sport ethics and international sport. Students also can choose from a variety of electives that allow them to explore specific areas of interest.
