Sport and Fitness Administration, B.S.

Sport and Fitness Administration is a branch of health sciences that combines the study of the human body and foundational business concepts.  Graduates provide clients with health and fitness assessments, skill training, recommendations for community health and welfare, and have the ability to create, conduct, and assess sport and fitness programming.  Sport and Fitness Administrators are frequently employed in secondary school, college, or professional sports, out-patient wellness facilities, community and commercial fitness and recreation, equipment sales, and coaching.  Students will also have completed the prerequisites to enter Piedmont’s Masters of Business Administration (MBA) program to continue advanced studies in sports administration, coaching, or public health.
