EXSS Internship: Sport Management
The internship/field experience is the capstone of the Sport Management major. This experience is actual work in a sport industry setting. Although it is the student’s responsibility to procure the internship at a location of their choice, final agreements and arrangements are subject to approval from the program director. Evaluation and direction will be given from the program director with appropriate supervision provided by an on-site professional. 400 hours of hands-on field experience subsequent to the senior year must be accumulated under supervision of a qualified on-site professional.
