Major in Management with a Concentration in Sport Management

Sports organizations require solid management in order to operate efficiently. At Elms College we have created a unique, interdisplinary program of study that integrates business, coaching, psychology, and law courses.

The concentration in sport management builds upon the solid foundation of the management major,which focuses on the concepts and theories of solving organizational problems.
The sport management concentration prepares students for careers in all areas of the sport industry, including:

  • high school
  • collegiate and professional athletics
  • sport clubs
  • the sporting goods industry
  • hotels
  • resorts
  • not-for-profit agencies

The location of Elms College in western Massachusetts offers many internship possibilities, including those with the Pioneers, the Falcons, and the Basketball Hall of Fame
