Program Overview
Students majoring or minoring in sport management will have several opportunities to gain real-world experience in the sport industry. Students in our program have worked events like Atlanta Falcons games, the SEC Men's Basketball Tournament, and the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl to name a few. Students may apply to work some of the largest sporting events in the country as well. Events we have worked include the Daytona 500, the NCAA Men's Final Four, the CFP National Championship, and the Super Bowl.
