In the School of Business, we view the Bible as our foundation. Our goal is to serve Christ in everything we do, glorifying God through developing character and integrity.

As a first-year student in the sport business degree, you will begin with your core business classes such as Principles of Management and Foundations of Business. You will take these courses with faculty who have practical experience and are constantly learning about new research, trends, and curricula. 

Your specialized sports management courses will include Introduction to Sport Management, Event Management, and Sport Marketing.
