Course Objectives / Learning Outcomes

  1. Students completing this course will be able to define all mega-faceted sports industry conglomerates, which will be measured by requiring them to describe 30 multi-faceted professional athletic experiences observed during this 300+ hour internship, thus resulting in very good exposure to and additions to their knowledge base and all the experiences during their entire college learning process
  2. Students will be able to describe the knowledge gained on the importance of sound structure for major sports organizations, for front and back office roles and the need for developing employee multi-tasking through an internship report covering every aspect of the organization and do so with a passing grade of “C” or above.
  3. Students will be able to use this internship course as a capstone course to pull all their academic knowledge into focus by delivering a successful oral report to their classmates and professors with a passing grade. Both the student and internship provider must complete performance evaluation reports with a passing grade. Assessment will also include six month follow-up evaluations with current employer and former-student on the adequacies of their college preparation and benefits of the internship. Successfully passing this course will cement the transition process from college to the student’s own career pathways for their post-graduation employment.
