Practicum
Through practicum, Sport Management majors receive academic credit for work experience with a sport-related organization. This is ordinarily volunteer work, although students may received credit for paid work in the sports industry. Students may receive from 1-5 hours of academic credit for this class depending on the number of practicum hours worked by the student. Students must work 20 practicum hours for each hour of academic credit desired. For example, a student must work 100 practicum hours to earn 5 credits, 80 hours for 4 credits, etc.
