Sports Business Minor
http://business.uoregon.edu/ug/minors/sports-business
The minor in sports business is intended to provide baseline business skills and knowledge to students who are not intending to pursue a sports business career per se, but rather are pursuing sports-related professional paths in which business acumen is a supporting skill (e.g., sports journalist, sports psychologist, sportswear designer). The sports business minor develops skills in teamwork, writing, and oral communications with an emphasis on providing core business competencies to those pursuing sports industry–related careers.
The minor in sports business is open to students from all majors except pre-business, business administration, or accounting. For general social sciences majors with a concentration in applied economics, business, and society, students must adhere to the GSS double-dipping policy. See the GSS website for more information. Completing the minor requires 24 credits of course work, which can be completed in one academic year.
It is possible to earn more than one minor within the Lundquist College of Business. However, for students earning more than one business-related minor, no more than three courses can be used to satisfy multiple business minors.
Students may declare a minor in sports business online on the college’s website, where a checklist of requirements can be found. Advising assistance is available in the Office of Undergraduate Advising.
