The sport and recreation management major prepares students to work in the administrative, management, and business areas of sport (front office administration) and recreation (health clubs, retain, etc.). The kinesiology (nonlicensure) major prepares students for careers associated with kinesiology.
Minors are offered in kinesiology, health, coaching, and outdoor recreation leadership.
