Department of Educational Leadership and Sport Management

Leadership and management matter because when done right organizations, schools, districts, and businesses thrive. The people who work in these organizations feel a sense of purpose and pride in being part of that effort, and making an impact on the people and communities they serve. 

Education tailored to meet your needs.

In the Department of Educational Leadership and Sport Management, we prepare leaders in education and sport, who are ready to meet the challenges of leading complex organizations for the greater good. We provide our students the necessary knowledge and skills so that they are well prepared for the world beyond the classroom and university—to become great school principals, superintendents, and managers and leaders in private and public organizations and businesses in the fields of sport, leisure, and recreation. 

The department offers undergraduate program and master’s degrees in Sport Management, and administrative certification, master’s, and doctoral programs in Educational Leadership.
