Since its inception in 1981, the WVU Sport Management undergraduate program has prepared students to work behind the scenes of the sport industry, one of the fastest growing industries in the US.
The curriculum has received national and international recognition as one of the best of its kind. Students are required to complete a minimum of three credit hours of internship. This "hands-on" experience is mutually beneficial, as the internship provides the student an opportunity to learn the sport business while the sport organization evaluates a potential future employee. In essence, the internship has become the cornerstone of a student's learning experience. The curriculum is multidisciplinary. Students are required to complete courses from many other schools and colleges across campus including Journalism, Communications, Business and Economics, and Arts and Sciences. There are six full-time faculty dedicated to making your academic experiences within the School of Sport Sciences the best they can possibly be.
