As a student in the sport studies program at UNH, you’ll be able to pursue one of four focus areas: sports information/media relations, management/administration, marketing or coaching/psychology. You will gain practical experience and make professional contacts through internships in coaching, communications, marketing, event management and other aspects of the sport industry. Demand in this industry is expected to grow as participation in high school, college, professional and recreational sport rises.

Majors take a core of foundation courses as well as electives in applied areas such as sport marketing, athletic administration, and sport psychology. Majors must earn a grade of B- or better in KIN 565 Principles of Coaching and KIN 580 Sport Industry, and a grade of C or better in each required University and Kinesiology course. All majors must complete a minor or 20 credits of prior-approved coursework in supporting areas such as business, psychology, or education. In addition, an internship experience or independent study is required. An internship experience is strongly recommended since it is often critical to career development.
