Elevate your game in sports business.
The Certificate in Sports Business is designed to enhance and complement the various majors within our Bachelor of Commerce program, and allows students to tailor their degree to their unique interests. With a focused examination of the sports business industry, this certificate weaves together elements from sport, business, wellness, and other areas such as history, psychology, sociology and more.
The Sports Business certificate offers students a deep connection with a range of sport, health and wellness resources on campus, in our region and beyond, including the Scott McCain & Leslie McLean Centre for Sport, Business and Health, the Saint Mary’s Athletics Department, and various local industry and community partners.
With the Certificate in Sports Business, BComm students can:
- Combine familiar business majors with an additional focus on sports business.
- Graduate with both a Bachelor of Commerce and a Certificate in Sports Business
How to apply
