Sport Studies Undergraduate Program
Sport Studies is an interdisciplinary option in the Department of Kinesiology that provides a foundation for a variety of career paths in school and college athletics, including coaching, administration, marketing, and sports information. The major also prepares majors for further graduate study in areas such as sport law or sport psychology. Students must earn a grade of B- (2.67) in KIN 565 and KIN 580, and a grade of C (2.0) or better in each other KIN or “required University” course.
Some Sport Studies courses are appropriate for students with career interests in other segments of the sport industry – e.g., pro leagues, sporting goods, media – but those students must major in another discipline, such as business, journalism, or communication, and pursue a second major or a minor in KIN.
