Course Objectives / Learning Outcomes

  1. Students completing this course will be able to define and describe 20 multi-faceted collegiate athletic experiences observed in collegiate athletics-one of the largest segments of the Sports industry- which will be evident to them in a semester long practicum experience and they will complete a written and oral report citing the knowledge and experiences achieved throughout this 150 hours of on and off campus positions of responsibility in the sports industry and they will complete the work with a passing grade.
  2. Students will be totally responsible for the planning, organizing and transporting athletes to public functions and games at colleges and universities across the multi-state area on two occasions, which will result in an understanding of the importance of the principles of time management and transport challenges for the organization and themselves. They must be successfully evaluated with a passing grade by the home and away team athletic directors/managers regarding their performance.
  3. Students will be able to use this experiential practicum course to learn about the reality of the business of sports management and the short careers of college athletes and the simultaneous educational process of the athlete through completion of a research paper on all three areas with a passing grade. Building upon that will be a requirement to evaluate the facility where they completed their practicum. A log of the multi-tasking and time management experiences through weekly reflections during the course is also required during this practicum
