Sports Studies Certificate

The Certificate in Sports Studies allows students to explore the role of sport in society. An interdisciplinary program, Sports Studies draws from three Colleges to provide students with the opportunity to explore sport from the academic perspectives of the physical and social sciences, business and economics, and the humanities. The Sport Studies program offers a unique, critically informed lens into the way in which sport(s) both reflects and shapes societies, while providing career readiness skills for students who intend to pursue employment in sport related industries.
