- Sport Management Field Experience 1

Catalog description

This course is designed to serve as a tool to explore career options and develop realistic expectations in Sport Management in either a profit or not-for-profit setting. Students will job shadow a leader (general manager, athletics director, owner, etc) for a minimum of forty hours. Emphasis will be placed on the search process (identifying individual interests and matching them with appropriate organizations), the application process (telephone, written contact, and interviewing skills/strategies), the orientation process (establishing measurable outcomes and asking appropriate questions), and the job shadowing process (following and learning from a leader in the sport field). This is a graded course.
