| Description: |
An exciting and successful career in the fast growing multi-billion dollar sport industry requires specialized business education. No longer is "passion for the game" a qualification for entry. Successful individuals looking for a sport job are well-trained, educated, and most of all, skilled. This one-year graduate certificate program prepares students to work within the broader area of sport, particularly the management aspect of the industry.
In three terms of study, the Sport Business Management program will provide training that is cross-disciplinary and relates to sport economics, sport marketing, corporate and ticket sales, sport sponsorship, sport finance, event planning and management, sport business in the social context, customer service, legal aspects of sport, sport governance, project management and sport management professional preparation. In-class work includes case studies, role playing, optimal use of technology and a variety of practical assignments.
The design of the Sport Business Management program and its respective components are unique. As the nation's capital, Ottawa is blessed with several professional sport franchises and more national governing sport bodies and multi-sport organizations than any other city in Canada. The program balances sport-business management education with an intensive experiential work placement. Students are required to work a minimum of 16 hours per week within the sport industry throughout the duration of the program.
