As of May 2022, the DC faculty has approved significant changes to the future sport management curriculum.
Several changes IN THE MAJOR OR MINOR may affect you. I have outlined the changes below, and you should pay careful attention to the classes you would have planned to take, and those which will replace those classes (in bold italics). You will need to request a curricular change from me each time you take a new replacement class.
