The purpose of the sport management program is to prepare graduates to manage a variety of diversified responsibilities in the business of sport at the professional, collegiate, secondary school or the community level, both globally and nationally. The sports and recreation industries are booming. And with a flourishing industry comes a demand for well-educated leaders to fill a variety of roles including media relations, advertising and sales promotion, marketing, financial management, facilities planning and administration. Rising above the competition and gaining access to this competitive industry requires a superb academic background and substantial practical experience. You can prepare for these opportunities through the acclaimed Bachelor of Science Degree Program in Sport Management at St. John's University. The program also offers study abroad and student exchange programs specifically for sport management students. A summer session runs in Rome each year during the month of June. This program provides students with a global perspective on issues related to the profession and an understanding of the role athletics play in international relations. There is also a full-semester exchange program available to study in the United Kingdom. These international experiences provide unique opportunities for students in the program to gain an edge as future managers in the sports and recreation industry.
