Is there is a difference between the sports management and sports administration undergrad major?
Some colleges offer sports administration, some offer sports management, and some schools (like Gonzaga) offer both, is there a difference and if so, what is it? THANKS!
Gonzaga’s programs are quite different. The Sport Management major is only for a Bachelor in Education. I’m not sure why they’d teach this through the education school, but I guess this would be fitting for aspiring athletic directors?
The Sport Administration is actually a major for a Master degree.
But that’s Gonzaga.
As for different schools calling majors different things, I don’t think that there is much difference. In my home state, GA Tech offers a "Management" degree with various concentrations. GA State offers a Bachelor of Business "Administration" with separate majors. The terminology of the majors and degrees are different like your "administration" vs. "management," but the course requirements are about 95% the same.
So if you need to compare two bachelor programs at two separate schools, you can probably click through their websites and find the course requirements for each and compare them.
