Admission

Undergraduate Students

Students are admitted directly into the major they select and begin taking SLAM courses in their first semester. There are no special admission requirements.

Graduate Students

The Sport Leadership and Management program is a research-based study of sport from psychological, sociocultural, developmental, and managerial perspectives. Students gain the knowledge and skills needed to become competent, transformative leaders in the sport industry.

The program prepares students for leadership roles in sport psychology, sport management, higher education, coaching, athletic administration, student-athlete development, and mental performance consulting through required coursework, independent experiences in research, teaching, and consulting, coaching, and administrative internships.

Financial Opportunities

The College of Education Health and Society offers many financial opportunities for students through scholarships and Assistantships.
