Sport Management

ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer 2024 and after)

*Please Note: Face-to-face/in-person instruction of this program is available ONLY at the main campus in Tallahassee, FL. This program is NOT available via Online/Distance Learning.*

This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area diversity requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Off-track) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.

The Sport Management major prepares individuals to pursue advanced degrees in sports administration or to seek employment in some aspect of the sports industry. The Sport Management major is a Specialized Admission/Limited Enrollment major and admits to upper division in the fall semester only. You must complete all prerequisite courses and submit an application to the Department on or before March 1st of spring term preceding admissions.

* All students are expected to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.75 and achieve a grade of C minus or higher in all courses taken. At any point when a student has any combination of three (3) D or F grades, the student may be dismissed from the program. *
