About Sport Management
In the fall of 2008, the College of Business at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs initiated a new undergraduate program in Sport Management. Designed as a program of distinction, the Sport Management Program limits admission to 86 students per year. The skills you’ll take away both from rigorous coursework and our internship program will prepare you to make an immediate impact in your career of choice, distinguishing you to prospective employers.
A Program of Distinction
We emphasize faculty-student interaction and engagement. Our class sizes are capped at 43 students, meaning you won't be lost in a sea of other students.
The small cohort size of our Sport Management Program, along with a wide variety of local sport partners, ensures every student has the opportunity to engage in meaningful internship experiences.
The UCCS College of Business has been accredited by AACSB International since 1989, a distinction that places us in the top 5% of the world’s business schools.
