The Sport Administration minor is for students who wish to work in the various forms of the sport industry. The program includes philosophical, theoretical, and practical training in areas specific to recreation and sport. This program is unique because of its hands-on training opportunities, a 12-week practicum offering them direct experience in the field as well as creating a network for potential employment, in an otherwise, difficult field. Our ultimate goal is to prepare future professionals for the ever-changing world of sport.
Sport Administration minor objectives are:

1. Prepare students for management positions in the various segments of the sport industry.
2. Develop, plan, and execute sport management courses that reflect the current trends and professional practices in the sport management field.
3. Provide practical work experiences in professional settings that are consistent with students’ professional aspirations.
4. Accommodate students from other disciplines who have an interest in taking courses in Sport Management.
5. Cultivate a professional network of Evangel graduates within the field of Sport Administration for the purpose of perpetuating the growth of the program, work experience sites, and employment opportunities for Evangel graduates.
