Specifics regarding a dual degree between Sport Management and Business appear below.  For more general information about dual degrees, including overall dual degree requirements and application procedures, please refer to Ross's web pages for Prospective Students, Applicants and Declared Dual Degree Students.

I.  Degree Requirements

• Complete all BBA degree requirements, including:

  • 45 Bus Ad credits (minimum)

  • Core courses

  • Ross Area Distribution

   

• Complete all Sport Management degree requirements

  • Prerequisite courses

  • Sport Management required courses

  • Sport Management electives

  • Distribution

  Please consult with Sport Management Advisor for complete details regarding Sport Management requirements.

   

• Complete 150 total credits (minimum), of which no fewer than 45 credits must be Bus Ad courses and no fewer than 54 credits must be non-Bus Ad courses.

• Complete 120 credits (minimum) of coursework considered acceptable for BBA degree credit.  This may include credits from Bus Ad courses, LSA courses and School of Kinesiology courses indicated on the approved list found in the BBA Bulletin.  School of Kinesiology classes not on the approved list are excluded from this total.

  
  Note:  School of Kinesiology courses that are not on the approved list in the BBA Bulletin may be taken by non-dual degree students on a "not for credit" basis.  Students who declare, and then graduate, as Kinesiology/BBA dual degree students may, however, take these classes for credit.  While these courses will not count towards the 120 credits of coursework considered acceptable for BBA degree credit, they will count towards the 150 total credits required for the dual degree. In the event that the dual degree is discontinued by dropping the Sport Management degree, any credits earned from these classes will be revoked since they are not accepted for the BBA degree.   

II.  Degree Details

• Sport Management is the only program within the School of Kinesiology that is eligible for a dual with Business.  Students apply to the Second Level of the Sport Management program during their BBA sophomore year.  Once admitted to the Second Level, students may then apply for the dual.

• Home School:  Students may choose either the Ross School of Business or the School of Kinesiology as their Home School.
