Celebrating 15 years of UC’s sport administration program
The program produces hundreds of alumni who work in sports from high school to professional levels
A feature article in Yahoo Sports — a division of Yahoo News — highlights the success and 15 year anniversary of the UC sport administration program, housed in the College of Education, Criminal Justice and Human Services (CECH).
The program, founded in 2009, provides students with theoretical knowledge and practical experience, an approach that enables graduates to fill diverse roles within the sports industry.
As the article states, graduates have secured positions with the NFL, NBA, MLB, NCAA and various high school athletic departments across the United States. These professionals are involved in a variety of roles, from sport facilities management and sport marketing to athletic administration and coaching.
The article also pays tribute to the founding faculty and lists alumni placements in the Greater Cincinnati area.
The Yahoo Sports article was syndicated from an article in The Cincinnati Enquirer.
