Envisioned as an alternative to a master’s degree in sports medicine, the exercise science program offers a mix of face-to-face and online courses.

Offered as a fully online program, the Sport Administration concentration focuses on the behind-the-scenes business involved in sports management from budgeting and facilities to marketing and game-day operations. Serving as excellent preparation to pursue athletic administration roles at the youth sport, high school, collegiate, and professional levels, this online concentration has produced many Texas athletic directors.
