Study Sport Management at LBC

Faith in Action

If you’re looking for an education in sport management or a sports administration degree that’s hands-on, practical and focused on giving you résumé-ready skills and experience, look no further. At Lancaster Bible College, our sports management degree allows students to be a part of the 400 billion dollar industry – before they even graduate.

Our Sport Management degree offers students 3 different areas to specialize in:

• Sports Management
• Coaching
• Sport Ministry (camp, fitness, church ministry)

While there are many colleges that offer sports management programs, there’s none quite like ours. With a program that is intentionally designed to give students field experience before graduating, our students leave equipped and ready to lead in their industry in sports administration, coaching or sport ministry. Starting freshman year, students begin working in their field, first by helping to pull off athletic events on campus, followed by an apprenticeship under a skilled professional in their sophomore year, then internships and practicum in their junior and senior years. In total, our students leave with a minimum of 440 hours of relevant sport management experience.

Additionally, our students are nearly entirely responsible for Shadey’s Rugged Run, our annual 5K charitable mud run that raises an average of $25,000 each year and draws a group of over 500 runners – and that’s not even counting the spectators. As you can tell, we’re firm believers in giving our students the chance to get as much hands-on experience as possible.

Furthermore, our students get the chance to integrate their faith into their profession through our unique program that places a strong emphasis on Bible classes, professional classes and coaching classes. In fact, our students graduate with two majors: sport management and biblical studies.

So if you’re looking for a Christian college that will give you and education in the Bible and beyond, consider applying to LBC to study sports management.
