Athletic Administration and Leadership

About

Bachelor of Science

This is a 42-credit interdisciplinary program that prepares graduates for careers in athletic, leisure, and sports organizations or advanced study in sports administration. Students will learn about the governance organizations; develop essential administrative skills such as budgeting, scheduling, negotiation, and marketing; examine ethical, moral, and legal issues including those of equity and inclusion; develop professional communication skills and strategies; and gain foundational knowledge on coaching and mentoring others. Additionally, students will complete courses taught by athletic coaches and leaders that focus on the application of the theories and principles of prior coursework through case studies, personal experiences throughout their own careers, and group discussions. Finally, students gain practical, hands-on experience by completing two field-based experiences: a practicum completed with an appropriate AIC department and an internship with an off-campus organization.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

We require a transcript(s) for each year of your secondary and post-secondary education. If your transcript isn’t in English, a translation is required. You can apply using unofficial transcripts, as long as you submit official transcripts prior to enrolling.

For post-secondary institutions, we need a course-by-course credit evaluation from an independent, reputable company such as World Education Services to determine transfer credits.

English Program Requirements

All students who wish to attend American International College must demonstrate English proficiency. If English isn’t your native language, you need to demonstrate English proficiency, most commonly through a test such as the TOEFL. This can be achieved in the following ways:

Submitting scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam. Our minimum qualifying score for the TOEFL is 80 iBT.
Successfully completing at least 15 credits (100 level or higher) from a regionally accredited 2 or 4 year institution in the United States where the primary language of instruction is English.
Applicants to the School of Business, Arts, and Sciences programs who have scored a minimum of 500 on the Verbal SAT are able to submit those scores in lieu of TOEFL or IELTS.
