Sport Management
Internships
The final step before graduation is a semester-long internship in the sport industry. The internship is a full-time (40 hours per week) work experience. The student is encouraged to find an internship that relates closely with his/her career aspirations. Assistance for finding an internship is provided by the program if needed. The student is directed and evaluated by a faculty member with appropriate supervision and by an on-site professional. In the past, students in the Sport Management program at Georgia Southern University have had opportunities to work with a number of professional sports teams, sport marketing companies, individual tournaments and event sites, and sport businesses.
