SPORTS STUDIES MAJOR AND MINOR

Objective
Sports Studies at Bishops is an integrated program, drawing on the expertise of faculty in Psychology, Sociology, Politics, Business, and the Health Sciences. Sports Studies is offered as both Major and Minor programs, providing an intensive study of sport and exercise in society. The programs are designed to encourage students to adopt an interdisciplinary perspective that gathers together the individual, local, national and international dimensions of sport and exercise. Consequently, they expose students to the social, biological, political, business and economic aspects of sport in society. The programs also provide opportunity for practical experiences.

Program Outcomes
These programs will help to prepare students for employment in sports organizations at the community and corporate level, as well as in volunteer programs to develop sports. The Major program will also prepare students for further studies in areas such as recreation, leisure, sports management or journalism.
