Students also receive a strong sports foundation that challenges them to examine the culture of the sport, reflect on the ethical dimensions of sport, analyze critical issues in sport, as well as, study and participate in event planning, marketing, and sport management.

Siena Heights University distinguishes itself from other institutions by offering a Sport Management program based on a strong business core, including management, marketing, economics, ethics, law, finance, and strategic planning.

Reflecting a strong commitment to the liberal arts, students in this major also receive a broad general education with a focus on social foundations including sociology, psychology, and the history of the sport.

The Sport Management Program is housed in the Business and Management Division where students earn a BBA. Graduates experience high placement rates in the competitive business industry and also attend graduate school.
