The Sport and Society minor provides students the opportunity to explore the reciprocating relationship between sport and society by critically examining sport as an institution, a business, and a cultural catalyst. Micro perspectives that analyze the impact sport has on our mental and physical health, as well as our ability to interact with diverse populations will also be investigated in the coursework.
