Department of Sport Management

Do you have a passion for sport? Do you have a strong work ethic? Are you a person of integrity? Have you considered a career working for a professional sports team, a college athletic department, a national governing body, a sports agency or perhaps a non-profit organization related to sport? If so, the Liberty University Sport Management undergraduate or graduate programs may be right for you.

The mission of the Department of Sport Management at Liberty University is to expose students to a Christian worldview pertaining to the concepts and principles of sport management, while preparing them to organize, administer and facilitate sport programs at the corporate, agency, professional and amateur levels. Real world opportunities are provided within a theoretical framework to develop knowledge and skills relevant to the performance of these functions.

Working with our qualified and talented group of faculty and staff, students participate in learning environments based on the sociological, psychological, ethical, financial and legal aspects of sport, with job placement in sport as the ultimate goal.
