When passion meets profession – sports fans, we have a degree for you!
To meet the education demand, the University of Louisville (UofL) launched two new online degree programs – a Bachelor and a Master of Science in Sport Administration.
Offered by the University’s College of Human Education and Development, these programs explore the business side of sports. Students can develop a comprehensive understanding of the sports industry through courses in administration, finance, economics, marketing, coaching and law (among many others).
“Graduates of the on-campus program are doing some amazing things with their degree and now we can extend those possibilities and opportunities to online learners. We’re excited that we can now offer the experience of UofL’s Sport Administration program and the expertise of their amazing faculty online,” said Kristen Brown, associate director of online learning.
