Sport Management is a field of study which prepares students for careers in the sport, recreation, and fitness industry. Students in the program will learn principles of business, including marketing, finance, management, and law while applying those principles to different areas of the sport industry.

As a key part of the sport and fitness management degree at NIACC, students will be required to gain internship credit for 3-6 semester hours. Internships give students the opportunity to apply their knowledge gained in the classroom to work in the field.

Upon completion of the curriculum with an average grade point of 2.00 (C), the student is awarded an Associate in Science – Business Degree / Sport Management.

Students who know they wish to pursue a four-year degree and want to meet general education requirements of transfer institutions should pursue the Associate in Arts (A.A) degree. This will necessitate a slightly different curriculum.

Students who graduate with a 4-year sport management degree will be prepared for employment in a wide range of fields, including intercollegiate athletics, high school athletics, professional sport, recreation and fitness organizations, and a variety of other sport-related businesses. Employment opportunities abound in the sport and recreation field.
