Introduction
BMA114 is a University Connections Program (UCP) unit that provides an introduction to disciplines of sports and recreation management. The class’s primary focus is on the sport and recreation industry, which includes professional sport, amateur sport, for-profit sport participation, non-profit sport participation, sporting goods, and sport services. The unit includes an applied focus on research and inquiry skills and provides opportunities for learners to explore topics of interests within their local community as well as topics of national and international relevance. In this UCP unit, you will be introduced to the different managerial and administrative components of the sport and recreation industry at local, state, national and international levels. In-class discussions and the unit’s assessment items will focus on assisting you in establishing skills and knowledge necessary to function as a professional person in sports or recreation industries or careers.
