This course pairs with the co-op experience to guide students through reflective learning and discussion based on their work experience. During co-op, students engage with a co-op faculty instructor virtually three times per semester, submit reflective writings based on co-op learning goals, participate in a performance evaluation led by the employer, and facilitate one on-site visit with the co-op faculty instructor. A memorandum of understanding agreed to by Carthage and the external employer must be in place before work can begin.

This course will serve as the introductory course for students in the Sport Business Minor/Concentration. The Sport Industry is rapidly evolving, establishing itself as one of the more prominent industries and business enterprises globally. Therefore, it is critical that future Sport Business practitioners understand the fundamental structures, governance, careers, and business processes within the industry. This course will introduce students to such structures, careers, and processes. Curriculum will teach students the organizational structures and business processes in all levels of sport, namely focusing on professional sport, intercollegiate athletics, esport, high school sport, youth sport, and amateur sport. Furthermore, students will be exposed to different career opportunities in sport. This course will also incorporate frequent discussion of current events in sport business.

4cr Supply Chain Management will introduce students to the movements of material and information throughout the supply chain process.

Prerequisites: MGT 3300

4cr With a wide array of professions in the sport industry, and its ever-changing landscape, it is necessary for sport practitioners to proactively apply and understand various laws, statutes, and regulations. In addition to providing students with the skills and resources to interpret the law, this class will provide a comprehensive overview of specific legal topics, which pertain to sport and the sport industry. This will include, but not be limited to, discussions of contract law, negligence, intentional torts, Title IX, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, constitutional law and sport, federal anti-trust law, collective bargaining agreements, legalities centered on facilities management, and sport governance. Students will explore significant case law, statutes, and U.S. Constitutional amendments, which explain and direct best practices for sport practitioners.

4cr With the growing prominence of the sport industry, it is necessary to understand the important role sport (and its organizations) plays in society, as sport has a significant economic and social impact. This embraces notions of how society is represented through sport, and vice versa, as well as the historical significance of sport in society. This course will provide students with a circumstantial understanding of theories related to sport sociology and sport history, and how these theories dovetail in explaining the social and economic impact of sport on communities. Topics discussed will include the historical formation and growth of major professional sport leagues (i.e., NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, and NWSL), and intercollegiate sport (i.e. NCAA) both nationally and internationally. The historical topics will provide a foundation for understanding the relationship between sport and society, and the role of athletes and sport organizations in serving Corporate Social Responsibility. Furthermore, this class will explore how sport organizations may serve as drivers of positive social change within their communities and society, and what impact this has on a local economy and business.

4cr Considering the constantly changing nature of the sport industry, it is necessary for professionals to be researching and exploring new business opportunities within the industry. Therefore, it is necessary for future sport practitioners to be able to conduct their own research and to be able to disseminate their findings and recommendations through a carefully and professionally articulated analysis. Thus, this course will provide students with this opportunity to develop case study research, which is relevant to creating new perspectives and practices in the sport industry. Through this course, students may collaborate with a sports organization, a practitioner in sport, or other business faculty to write a case study that will be published independently, with high quality CASE work being published in a new, forthcoming Sport Business CASE study journal. Case research incorporates an in-depth, and integrated (through practice) approach to understanding complex issues. This journal will be published by the institution. Students will work in groups to develop and research these CASE studies, thus allowing them to acquire skills and practice with working in a high-performing team. Students are expected to deliver an individual CASE study, teaching note, and instructor guide. This course will develop student-writing skills through its writing intensive nature. Topics of research will focus on innovation and development in sport business. This course will feature an on-site experiential learning component.

4cr Data collection and analysis| continuous and discrete distributions, central limit theorem, sampling theory, confidence intervals and estimation theory, regression analysis and correlation including multiple linear regression models and hypothesis testing and confidence intervals in regression models, chi-square test of independence and other nonparametric statistical tests, time series models and forecasting, linear time series models, moving average and autoregressive models, estimation, data analysis, index numbers, forecasting with time series models, forecasting errors and confidence intervals, and application of statistics to significant real-world data.
