Sports Management (Minor)

The world-wide increase in recreational sports and fitness participation, coupled with society’s growing concern over healthy lifestyles, has created a need within the sports and recreation industry for additional trained management professionals possessing a wide variety of skills.

The minor in Sports Management program at Dominican University of California addresses this need. The Minor provides exposure to the many facets of the sports, recreation and leisure business including sports marketing, coaching theory and practice, facility and operational management, legal liability and risk management, sports psychology,  and sports news media and public relations.

The curriculum combines 6 units of lower division core courses with 12 upper division units of more specialized Sports Management courses. Students may participate in an Internship Program designed to provide work skills and practical work experiences in the sports field.  The curriculum helps prepare students for entry level management careers in the sports industry.
