2001-2002 Undergraduate Calendar

The Department of Sport Management offers a four-year program and a three-year program leading to a Bachelor of Sport Management. A Co-op option is available as an honours program.

Programs are designed to meet the needs of a rapidly expanding sport industry and incorporate a series of fieldwork experiences for students.

Core course offerings in Sport Management reflect curriculum and content areas that comply with the accreditation standards established by the joint task force of the North American Society of Sport Management (NASSM) and the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE). Students will be prepared for sport management career opportunities that include marketing, public relations, promotions, communications, human resources and financial, facility, and/or event management in a variety of public and private organizations.

The Sport Management Co-op program combines academic and work terms over a four and one-half year period. Students spend two years in an academic setting prior to taking the first work placement. In addition to the current fees for courses in academic study terms, Co-op students are assessed an annual administrative fee (see the Schedule of Fees).

Admission to the Co-op program is on the basis of marks, a review of personal resumes, a personal interview and the completion of an application form. The normal requirement for admission is a minimum 80 percent average on six OACs (or equivalent). As this is a limited enrolment program, admission is not guaranteed by attainment of the minimum requirement. The Co-op Programs Office and the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences will facilitate admission decisions.

Students admitted to the Sport Management Co-op program must follow the Co-op program schedule. Failure to adhere to the schedule may result in removal from the Sport Management Co-op program. Eligibility to continue is based on the student's major average and non-major average. A student with a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average will be permitted to continue. A student with a major average lower than 70 percent will not be permitted to continue in the Sport Management Co-op program.

The Sport Management Co-op program designation will be awarded to those students who have honours standing and who have successfully completed a minimum of twelve months of Co-op work experience.
