Practicum

The first of two experiences required of the major, students are able to apply classroom theory & concepts to the real-life, day to day activities of a sport-related organization. A number of different experiential opportunities exist within the Rochester area as well as on campus. Whether the student is interested in the area of professional sports, facility operations, college athletics, event management, sport marketing, player representation, corporate wellness, municipal recreation, fitness club management or sport reporting, the resources exist to gain invaluable experience just around the corner.

The process begins by first having a meeting with the Director of Experiential Learning and Outreach. A Letter of Proposal is then prepared by the student before a decision is rendered. A minimum of 120 hours is expected to be invested along with the completion of two (2) evaluations, written papers and other specific assignments relating to the practicum placement.

Permission of the program director is required to register.
