Bachelor of Arts - Sport Studies

Sport studies examines sport in the contexts of historical and contemporary culture. It looks at sport’s cultural relationship with education, the economy, families, the media, and politics, and considers race, class, and gender differences in the sport experience.

The sport studies major provides an excellent basis for pursuing careers in sports journalism, sports broadcasting, sports management, sports information, and coaching. The courses lay a solid foundation for students who want to pursue a graduate degree or combine their sport studies interest with an emphasis on journalism, American studies, business, history, women's studies, African American studies, or sociology.
