Sports and Recreation Management BMA114

Introduction

BMA 114 seeks to provide the student with an initial learning experience in the disciplines of sports and recreation. 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.

It is the objective of the class to introduce students 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 the student in establishing a conceptual understanding of and developing the skills necessary to function as a professional person in the sports or recreation marketplace. In addition, the student will be exposed to the different sports or recreation careers, the requirements for entrance into the various employment areas and the trends in the industry.
