Sport Management, B.S. Program - Total (120 Credit Hours)

The curriculum is offered in a traditional model based on students enrolling in either the Fall or Spring semester. Students who plan to graduate in 8 semesters will need to take between 15–17 credit hours per semester throughout their program of study in order to be eligible to complete the required 12 credit hours of internship during the graduating semester. The internship should be taken alone and not in conjunction with other courses; therefore, all other university coursework should be completed prior to the terminal semester. Summer course offerings are intermittent and are not guaranteed; therefore, students should not assume that needed courses will be offered during summer sessions.
