Sport Management Degree at UIW
The BBA with a concentration in Sport Management is directed toward developing an
advanced knowledge base in the business aspects of the social institution of sport.
The program develops the individual’s intellect, knowledge and analytical skills in
this area as the students learn a variety of business principles and applications
of those principles in the context of the sport industry.

The degree program provides students the opportunity to work in a management, executive or academic setting in the field of sport. The program adheres to the mission of the University by developing competencies related to working in nonprofit foundations as well as various community outreach programs and other nonprofit amateur sports organizations.
