Sport Management Major (B.S.B.)

Major in Sport Management

This interdisciplinary program includes courses in sport law, management, marketing, economics and finance, and prepares students for positions in professional and intercollegiate athletics and the industries that serve them. Students gain exposure to all facets of the business of sport, including sport sponsorship, team and league equity issues, player-management labor relations, and a wide variety of ethical dilemmas facing business professionals in both professional and amateur sport. The program prepares students for positions in sport management organizations; sport marketing firms; licensing and apparel marketing; radio and television programming; and events and facilities management. An integral part of the program is The Seton Hall Sports Poll, which provides opportunities for gaining significant sport marketing and sales experience.

Alpha Chi Lambda

Alpha Chi Lambda is the Sport Management Honor Society. In Spring 2001, the Center for Sport Management in the Stillman School of Business at Seton Hall University, having discovered no honor society in sport management programs nationally, founded Alpha Chi Lambda, the first Sport Management Honor Society. Requirements for nomination, which is awarded in either the junior or senior year, include a 3.4 GPA in 60 or more earned credits. Initiation occurs in the Spring of each academic year and members wear a royal blue cord at graduation.

The Sport Networking Association (SNA)

The Sport Networking Association (SNA) is one of the largest and most active student organizations in the Stillman School of Business. Comprising both graduate and undergraduate students, the organization provides an outlet for students to engage in the interactive learning of the business of sport through off-campus visits to sporting events and facilities, internships, guest speakers and more. The SNA also holds community service in the highest regard and works diligently to be a leader and facilitator of charitable activities at Seton Hall University and in the surrounding communities.
