Sport Management

Drexel Co-op
Drexel University has long been known for its co-operative education programs, through which students combine periods of full-time, career-related employment with their studies. Co-op employment is required for sport management students and is central to their experience.

Within the sport management program, co-operative education gives students experience in a range of sports activities and settings, from coaching to the business of sports to health-enhancing activities. Students may be placed with local athletic teams, or with organizations aligned with sports (e.g., a sports agency). Co-op experiences are available with many of the region’s sports, recreation, and health organizations, including professional sports teams, high school and college athletic departments, sports media networks, school districts,
community-based health organizations, youth fitness organizations, fitness centers, sports complexes, hospital and health care organizations, and others.

Career Opportunities
The multidisciplinary nature of the sport management program allows its graduates to be ready for a wide range of sport-related professions, including athletic management, sports and recreational activities at all levels (professional, semi-professional, collegiate, scholastic, and youth) within a range of organizations (public, private, community, recreation, scholastic, professional, and amateur), and for varying purposes (competitive, fitness, wellness, and rehabilitation).

Sports management graduates are uniquely qualified for leadership, support, or coaching positions in professional and amateur sports organizations, in recreation and community centers, in high schools and colleges, and in other sports venues, as well as in the health and wellness industry.The program also prepares students for graduate study in a variety of fields including sport management, sports psychology, counseling psychology, physical therapy, education, business administration as it relates to sport, and other fields.
