The College of Education offers five majors within the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Health degree. Through a combination of physical, health-equity and community-minded learning, KHE students have the opportunity to study a wide-range of areas such as human movement, health behavior and the business and culture of sports. Many of our graduates go on to become physical therapists, teachers, coaches, trainers, researchers and more. Undergraduates can choose from majors and minors that cover health science and promotion, as well as sport management and culture to become teachers, therapists, coaches and doctors. Master's and doctoral programs are designed to educate students while engaging in impactful research and real-world work experiences that prepare them for a meaningful career in sport and health related fields.
Sport Management prepares you for a career in the management, marketing, and administration of sport programs in educational, sport business, or the entertainment industry. In addition to the required courses, you will complete a semester-long internship. You will learn analytical skills in business and marketing, resource management, law, ethics, and leadership within sport organizations.
Connections with Austin FC, Longhorn Athletics, and other local sport organizations offer many opportunities for first-hand experience in professional sport settings. We also have connections to the entertainment industry, including ACL Music Festival, SXSW Music and Film Festival, and the Circuit of the Americas. You also may decide to continue your education through graduate studies in sport management, law, business, or physical culture and sport studies.
