2019-2020 Catalog

Sport and Event Management, Bachelor of Science

The Bachelor of Science in Sport and Event Management is designed to prepare students to develop the necessary skills to enter the sport industry. The major requires two clinicals and one internship, which offers students a supervised practical experience that relates to their field of study while obtaining course credit(s). This allows students to apply knowledge and skills acquired in their academic program to practical on-the-job situations. This process enhances learning and prepares students for careers in all types of organizations and/or entrance to a graduate level program.

Admission

Students may declare a Sport and Event Management major upon admission to Presentation College. New students admitted on probation may declare a Sport and Event Management major but will not be admitted to the program until they have completed the Success Academy requirements.

A growth plan will be developed for Sport and Event Management students who fail to maintain a minimum cumulative 2.50 GPA in their business courses in any given semester. This signed growth plan will be provided to the students as well as copied in their official academic file. This growth plan will address:

  1. The process the students will take to increase their GPA to meet graduation requirements.
  2. The length of time the student has to increase their GPA to meet graduation requirements.
