Sport Management Department Chair: Dr. Doug Blais The growth of sports as a major industry has increased the need and opportunities for well-trained professional managers. A well-rounded business education with a focus on sport management skills is essential in this rapidly growing field. Southern New Hampshire University’s sport management program prepares students for successful employment in the dynamic sport industry. Students couple nine specialized courses in sport management with a strong mix of business and liberal arts courses. Students will have an opportunity to gain practical experience through field experiences with a variety of sport, fitness and recreational industries. The sport management program is one of only 19 programs in the country to have both their undergraduate and graduate programs approved by the Sport Management Program Review Council. Through the national program accreditation the requirements of the major in Sport Management include extensive field experience(s) totaling a minimum of 400 hours. Therefore, students majoring in sport management are required to complete SPT 491 which has a minimum GPA requirement of 2.5. Any student with a minor or concentration in sport management is encouraged to complete field experience(s) which also have a minimum GPA requirement of 2.5. In order to facilitate this and to ensure that all students are eligible and prepared for their field experience, any student with a sport management major, minor or concentration must receive a minimum of a “C” in all required Sport Management courses. Similarly, all students wishing to change their major to sport management must complete a brief application process to ensure their understanding of the field experience requirement in the program.

Technical Management Program Coordinator: Dr. Steven Painchaud The technical management curriculum was established to provide junior college or vocational-technical institute graduates who have earned degrees in specialized areas other than business (e.g., small engine repair, automotive technology, electronics technology, graphic arts, culinary arts, etc.) the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree in business. Students augment their technical skills with liberal arts and business courses to prepare for a career in business.
