Sports are more than just the game—they’re about the business too! Learn how to manage, market, and promote sports teams and events with Marian’s Sports Management Specialization.
Why you should choose the Sports Management Specialization
College graduates who can plan, manage, budget, market, and lead sports organizations are increasingly in demand. With a major in accounting, business analytics, finance, management, or marketing and a specialization in sports management, you can more narrowly define your career interests/goals and be even more marketable upon graduation.
- Because Marian also offers programs in exercise science, health and physical education, physiology of exercise, and sport performance, you’ll find athletics are an integral component of the teaching and learning environment on our campus.
- With a Sports Management Specialization, you’ll have the option of completing an additional internship in the sports field to gain a first-hand perspective about operations.
- Thanks to our Indianapolis location, you’ll have access to internships with sports franchises like the Indianapolis Colts, Indiana Pacers, Indianapolis Indians, Indiana Fever, Indy Eleven, and the Indy Fuel. You might work at locations like NCAA headquarters, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Lucas Oil Stadium, or Victory Field. And you might help plan and manage major sports events like Big Ten and Final Four events, swimming and diving championships, or golf tournaments.
