Sport Management Program

The Sport Management program at Flagler College enjoys the special distinction of being the first undergraduate curriculum in the state of Florida to be approved by the Sport Management Program Review Council. Furthermore, Flagler College's Sport Management program is one of only 35 approved undergraduate programs in the nation.

The Sport Management program prepares students for managerial careers in sport. Career fields include the following: professional sport management, event and facility management/marketing, athletic administration, recreational sport management, resort management, retail sports industry, sport governance, and nonprofit sport agencies.

Flagler's nationally-approved program requires students to be exposed to:

• the behavioral dimensions of sport,
• management and organizational skills in sport,
• ethics in sport management,
• marketing in sport,
• communication in sport,
• finance in sport,
• economics in sport,
• legal aspects of sport,
• governance in sport, and
• field experience in sport management.

In addition, course assignments and projects require students to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios.

Because success in the sporting enterprise depends more and more on knowledge of finance, marketing, economics and sales, the Sport Management curriculum also requires courses in accounting, economics and business administration. This interdisciplinary approach enhances the students' general business knowledge base and better prepares them for the competitive job market.
