Overview

The sports world operates at the intersection of business, entertainment and global culture. It is both unpredictable and highly regulated — the unexpected twists of competition must still follow distinct guidelines, laws and contracts. This makes for an exciting, fast-paced industry that demands strategic thinking and a deep understanding of the business of sports.In just one year, you can develop key skills in communication, marketing, leadership and financial management and gain insights into how sports intersect with different industries, cultures and societies worldwide. By the time you graduate, you’ll be ready to make an impact on sports organizations locally and on the global stage.

The California Lutheran University Sport Management program also places a strong emphasis on ethical judgment and community building.
