Sports Tourism Development Certificate

Earn a certificate in sports tourism development

In this certificate program, you’ll discover the many aspects of sport event planning—site selection, logistics, personnel, marketing, economics, and legalities—and you’ll examine how sports make an impact on community and business growth. Best of all, depending on your interests, you may choose to center your elective courses around sport journalism, sport marketing, sport sociology, or other special topics.

The sports tourism development certificate will prepare you for a career in amateur or professional sports, sport commissions, and other sport tourist leisure services.
