Sport Management

Students in the Sport Management program at our Minnesota campus will earn a Bachelor of Science degree and gain a solid understanding of the social, ethical, economic, legal and political factors that impact the management and administration of sport organizations. Sport Management majors will learn about finance, law, organization management, personnel and marketing. Students have the opportunity to be involved in the intercollegiate athletic department, the intramural program and the professional sport arena. Internships—which offer students the opportunity to practice what has been learned in their courses and to further their learning—are a requirement for graduation.

Why choose Sport Management studies at Crown?

Gain valuable hands-on experience.

Develop business ethics from a Christian worldview.

Immerse yourself in a network of connected business professionals.

Sports and athletics are an important part of our society. Sport managers are required to plan, organize, promote and direct sporting activities. Our Sports Management degree in Minnesota is designed for students who want to gain the skills and preparation needed to fill these roles across the U.S. and internationally as well.

I have the opportunity to not just be in a caring community, but a community that fosters the same values and faith. There are so many different perspectives here from students and professors, and it creates so many opportunities to grow.

Being at Crown makes you want to stay at Crown for the rest of your life; but being at Crown also gets you excited for what God is preparing you to do after college, too.

Mentoring Opportunities

Learning in the classroom is one of the core ways that you can grow as a person. However, we believe classrooms can only go so far. That is why each student has the opportunity to connect with a faculty or staff member to talk about class, life, and Jesus. Because learning is more than just knowledge, it is experiencing life-changing relationships.
