Florida State's bachelor's degree in Sport Management is designed to provide you with an introductory understanding of the sport industry. The coursework includes a focus on the applied aspects of Sport Management, and youll also gain knowledge of current industry literature, both applied and research-based. You can tailor the program to your own interests through a variety of electives related to business, recreation, and other disciplines. Our program provides you with the academic foundation necessary to pursue a graduate degree in Sport Management or to pursue an entry-level position in the sport industry. Sport Management faculty members have developed and continue to develop relationships with many successful alumni who provide a professional experience for our students in various forms (graduate assistantships, internship/volunteer partnerships, class/conference speakers, etc.).
Additionally, you have the option to enroll in the combined B.S./M.S. pathway in Sport Management. This pathway allows you to complete 12 graduate credit hours of coursework that will count towards both your bachelor's and master's degrees. Additionally, you will complete practicum and service hours, which helps you connect to current sport management professionals as well as gain work experience.
Students who complete the combined pathway enter the workforce with more training and a real-world understanding of the industry and thus are better prepared for non-entry level jobs. Particularly as the sport management industry becomes more competitive, students interested in more training and preparation should consider completing a master's degree to have a competitive advantage.
