The Sports Leadership and Management (SLAM) program equips students for leadership roles in sports and physical activity programs across public and private sectors. The coursework explores sports through historical and modern cultural lenses, analyzing its connections with education, economics, family dynamics, media, and politics while addressing diversity in race, class, and gender within sports.
SLAM students choose ONE specialization: Coaching and Youth Sports -or- Sports Leadership. Those aiming to develop physical activity programs for various age groups—from youth to professional levels or private coaching—should select the Coaching and Youth Sports track. Alternatively, students pursuing careers in sport business and culture—including Sport Management, Marketing, Sociology, or Journalism—should opt for the Sports Leadership concentration.
