The minor in Sport Studies gives students the opportunity to examine the role that sport plays in shaping culture and provides information needed for sport-related careers in the humanities and the social and environmental sciences.

With the new major in Journalism, a minor in Sport Studies is necessary for the University to continue to offer students the opportunity to prepare for careers in Sport Journalism. In addition, students who graduate in a major related to a sport field of study may look to advance their degree status with entry into a respective graduate program. The Sport Studies minor would provide the background necessary to enhance acceptance into one of these graduate programs.
