ABOUT LEISURE AND SPORT MANAGEMENT...

In today's global society, juggling work and family responsibilities makes leisure choices in recreation and sport more important than ever.

Elon's Leisure and Sport Management (LSM) program is preparing students to meet the demands of this growing industry, thus enhancing quality of life for everyone.
description

LSM majors develop skills for rewarding management careers in sport, facilities, public recreation, cultural and performing arts, and tourism.

LSM students learn about the role of leisure and sport management in society, fundamentals of facility planning, and the principles of special event programming and marketing. Professors are very accessible, get to know students personally and help them benefit from their years of experience in the field.

All LSM majors complete at least one internship in addition to a variety of practical activities related to the academic study of leisure and sport. These experiences reinforce what is learned in the classroom and provide valuable networking opportunities in the industry. Examples of recent internships include ESPN, Atlanta Braves, Wild Dunes Resort, Madison Square Garden and various areas of intercollegiate athletics.

After graduation, Leisure and Sport Management majors obtain careers in a variety of settings, such as public parks and recreation departments, sport organizations, resorts and hotels, youth agencies, private clubs and athletic administration. Others go on to graduate school in assorted academic specializations.
