Do you want to make your mark on the business side of the sports industry? Then our sport management degree will be a perfect fit for you.
You’ll study in Indianapolis, home to six professional sports franchises, several Olympic governing bodies, the NCAA, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. From day one, you will be immersed in the city’s sports scene allowing you to immediately get into the game. These franchises aren’t a destination for you: They’re within walking distance and a key component of your IU Indianapolis educational experience.
You’ll work directly with these and other organizations before you graduate, volunteering, working high-profile tournaments and games, interning with professional and amateur sports teams, and solving real-life business problems. Some of these experiences will be for credit, and credit for prior experience is also an option.
In addition to the bachelor’s degree, you’ll earn a business foundations certificate from the Kelley School of Business along the way. With courses related to human resources, accounting, finance, and business operations under your belt, you'll be positioned for sport management career success. To complement your credentials, you can add a second major, certificate, or minor within the tourism, event, and sport management department.
Your career beyond the game in the business side of sports starts here.
