Indiana State University

The University offers a bachelor of science (BS) in sport management that provides the classroom knowledge and clinical experience needed for careers (and professional certification) in sport management.

The program stresses the development of programming, leadership, and management skills in organizing, planning, and budgeting within professional, nonprofit, collegiate, youth, and public recreation and sport programs. All students complete practicum service learning hours prior to an internship.

Experiential education and leadership opportunities are major parts of the program. A few examples include projects with local agencies, off-site practicum experiences (with sport, park and recreation, and recreation therapy agencies), and internships.

The department has its own student organizations, KRS Club. In addition, the Nonprofit Leadership Student Association focuses on students with an interest in the nonprofit sector.
