Sport Administration
The graduate program in sport administration is an ideal option for the student interested in mastering administration concepts, principles, and practices related to successful management of sport and fitness programs.
Students can design and complete a personalized course of study that will prepare them for future leadership and supervisory positions within school, recreation, and commercial programs. Students will also examine research methods and recent findings related to program administration.
Assistantships are available for positions within an intercollegiate athletics department and the EIU Student Recreation Center. Any graduate student who is already administering sport, fitness, or recreation programs (or planning to) will benefit from this graduate course of study.
